The difference of 22 and the quotient of a number m and 4 is 54 ?
I translate that as
m/4 - 22 = 54
m/4 = 76
m = 304
check:
304/4 - 22 = ??
i don't get it
i got it , now Thanks Reiny
To solve this problem, we need to translate the given information into an equation. Let's break down the problem step by step.
1. "The difference of 22 and the quotient of a number m and 4" can be written as 22 - (m/4).
2. "is 54" means this expression is equal to 54.
Now we can write the equation:
22 - (m/4) = 54
To find the value of m, we need to isolate the variable m. Here's how:
1. First, let's get rid of the -22 on the left side of the equation. We can do this by adding 22 to both sides:
22 - (m/4) + 22 = 54 + 22
(m/4) = 76
2. Next, let's isolate m by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4, the denominator of the fraction (m/4):
4 * (m/4) = 76 * 4
m = 304
Therefore, the value of m is 304.
i don't know that's the thing im confused this is something i don't get .
