Question

t divided by 4 minus 2 equals 14. What is t?

Answer 1

Answer :-

• The number is 64.

Given :-

• t divided by 4 minus 2 equals to 14.

To find :-

• The number.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• t divided by 4 = $\sf\dfrac{t}{4}$

• Subtracting 2 from it, we get $\sf \dfrac{t}{4} - 2$

• It's equal to 14.

• Hence, the equation is $\sf \dfrac{t}{4} - 2 = 14$

Calculations :-

To find the required number, let's solve this equation and find the value of t.

$\sf \implies \dfrac{t}{4} - 2 = 14$

• Transposing 2 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign,

$\sf \implies \dfrac{t}{4} = 14 + 2$

• Adding 2 to 14,

$\sf \implies \dfrac{t}{4} = 16$

• Transposing 4 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign,

$\sf \implies t = 16 \times 4$

• Multiplying 16 by 4,

$\sf \implies t = 64.$

The value of t = 64.

Hence, the required number is 64.
