Question

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

Answer 1

Let number be X
2x+4=25/6
2x=25/6-4
2x=25-24/6
2x=1/6
x=1/12

Answer 2

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
