Adding 4 to twice a number yields 25/6.Find the number
2n + 24/6 = 25/6
n = 1/12
To find the number, let's start by setting up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the number is represented by the letter "x".
The phrase "twice a number" means to multiply the number by 2, so we can write this as 2x.
The sentence "Adding 4 to twice a number yields 25/6" can be written as the equation:
2x + 4 = 25/6
To find the value of the number "x", we will solve this equation:
2x + 4 = 25/6
1. First, let's subtract 4 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with "x":
2x + 4 - 4 = 25/6 - 4
2x = 25/6 - 24/6
2x = 1/6
2. Next, we need to get rid of the coefficient in front of the variable "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
2x/2 = (1/6)/2
x = 1/12
Therefore, the number represented by "x" is 1/12.
1/2
2x+4=26/5
10x+20=26
10x=26-20
10x=6
x=6/10
x=3/5
