Question

adding 4 to twice a number yields 25/6 . find the answer


​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be x

twice the number means 2x

adding 4 to twice the number =2x+4

2x+4=25/6

6(2x+4)=25

12x+24=25

12x=25-24

12x=1

x=1/12

Therefore,the number is 1/12

Answer 2

$Let \: the \: Number \: be \: x$

$Twice \: as \: Number = 2x$

$Adding \: 4 \: twice \: to \: a \\ \: number \\ \\ = 2x+4$

$2x + 4 = \frac{25}{6} \\ \\ 2x = \frac{25}{6} - \frac{4}{1} \\ \\ 2x = \frac{25 - 24}{6} \\ \\ 2x = \frac{1}{6} \\ \\ 2x \times 6 = 1 \\ \\ 12x = 1 \\ \\ x = \frac{1}{12}$
