Question

the sum of four times a number and 18 is 28

Answer 1

Given:

Sum of four times a number and 18 is 28. This can be represented as:

4x+ 18= 28, where x is the number to be found.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We know,

4x + 18 = 28

Now, reshuffling the equation a bit,

⇒ 4x = 28 - 18

⇒ 4x = 10

Dividing both the sides by 4, we get,

⇒ x = $\frac{10}{4}$

⇒ x = 2.5

Hence the value of x is 2.5.
