Question

One third of a number is increased by 6 and the result is multiplied by 4, gives 56. Find the number


​

Answer 1

Let the number be x.

According to condition,

(x/3+6)×4 = 56

or, (x+18)/3×4 = 56

or, (x+18)/3 = 56/4

or, (x+18)/3 = 14

or, x+18 = 14×3

or, x+18 = 42

or, x = 42-18

or, x = 24

Hence, the number is 24.

Answer 2

Answer:

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

now let the number be x

so,according to question

4(x/3+6)=56

(x+18)/3=56/4

x+18=14*3

x+18=42

x=42-18

x=24
