Answer 2

Given,

A number, when divided by 4, is reduced by 21.

To Find,

The number =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is given that a number when divided by 4 is reduced by 21. We have to find the number.

Let the number be equal to x.

According to the question, when x is divided by 4, the number is reduced by 21. Therefore,

$\frac{x}{4} = x - 21$

Solving the above equation to find the value of x,

$x = 4(x - 21)$

$x = 4x - 84$

$x -4x = -84$

$-3x = -84$

$x = \frac{84}{3} = 28$

Hence, the number is equal to 28.
