Question

one fourth of a number is 5 more than 6 find the number ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number be x

One fourth of the number x is 5 more than 6

Hence, ( 1/4 × x ) - 6 = 5

=> x/4 = 5+6

=> x/4 = 11

=> x = 11×4

=> x = 44

∴ the number is 44

Answer 2

The required number is 4.

• Let the required number be x.
• According to the given condition

                   x/4 + 5 =6           (1)

Solving the above linear equation by taking LCM we get

                   x+20=24             (2)

Now from the above equation solve for x

                      x= 24-20

                      x=4

         This is the required value of x.
