Question

Q4) Write the equation for the
following statement. One fourth of a
number is 20 less than the number
itself.
O a) x-x/4=20
O b)x+20 = x/4
O c) x=20 - X/4​

Answer 1

answe:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown number be 'x'

then;

one fourth of the number means (1/4) of x

20 less than the number x means x-20

so,

(x/4)=x-20

or

(x/4)-x=20

or

x=(x/4)-20

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the unknown number is X,

then

the one fourth of the number mean(1/4) of X 20 less than the number X mean X -20

so.

(X/4)=X-20

or

(X/4)-X=20
