Question

one sixth of a certain number decreased by 4 is equal to 1.
find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

(1/6 of x) - 4 = 1

or, x/6 - 4 = 1

or, x/6 = 1 + 4

or, x/6 = 5

or, x = 5 × 6

or, x = 30

Answer 2

EXPLANATION:-

Let the number be  "$x$"

One-sixth of x=$_\frac{x}{6}$

After decreasing 4 we get:- $_\frac{x}{6}_-_4$

So this is equal to 1 .

So we get a linear equation:-$_\frac{x}{6}_-_4_=_1$

So let's solve it

$==>_\frac{x}{6}_-_4_=_1\\\\==>_\frac{x}{6}_=_1_+_4\\\\\==>_\frac{x}{6}_=_5\\\\\==x=6*5\\\\==>30$

Hence the number is 30
