Question

if 4 is subtracted from 5 time a number the result is 36 find the number​

Answer 1

As per the data given in the question,

We have to determine the value of the number.

As per question,

It is given that,

if 4 is subtracted from 5 time a number the result is 36

So, let the number be x.

So, from the question,

times of the number will be $=(5\times x) = 5x$

If 4 is subtracted from 5 times of number,

Then the number will be $=(5x-4)$

Now, from the statement,

if 4 is subtracted from 5 time a number the result is 36

We will get,

$(5x-4) = 36\\=>5x = 36+4\\=>5x = 40\\=>x =\frac{40}{5}\\=>x = 8$

Hence, value of "x" in the given expression will be 8.

Answer 2

Given: $4$is subtracted from $5$times a number the result is$36$.

We have to find the number.

• For this first, we will Identify the variables and constants in the given equation.
• And then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.
• Then we will transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.
• After that, we will Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in the above rule of the linear equations.
• Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.

Now by using the transposition method:

Let, the number will be'$x$'.

$5$times a number means$=>5x$

From the given condition we can write:

$5x-4=36$

$=>5x=36+4\\=>5x=40\\\\=>x=\frac{40}{5} \\\\=>x=8$

Hence, the number will be$8$.
