Question

6 times a number subtracted from 40 gives 4 find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

6 times this number = 6x

6x subtracted from 40 = 40 - 6x

40 - 6x = 4

6x = 40 - 4

6x = 36

x = 6

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

So,

40-6x = 4

-6x = 4-40

-6x = -36

x = -36/-6

x = 6
