Question

fifteen less than 4 times a number is 9. Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

the number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x

4 times the number = 4x

15 less than 4 times the number = 4x-15

According to the statement :

4x – 15 = 9

⇒ 4x = 9 + 15

⇒ 4x = 24

⇒ x = 6

Answer 2

Answer:

Let us assume the number as ${x}$

A.T.Q

4x – 15 = 9

⇒ 4x = 9 + 15

⇒ 4x = 24

⇒ x = $\frac{24}{4}$

⇒ x = 6
