Question

Three subtracted from one fourth of a numbees is two​

Answer 1

Answer:

$3x - \frac{1}{4} x = 2$

Answer 2

Answer:

20

Step by step explanation:

x=96

PREMISES

1/4x-4=20

CALCULATIONS

1/4x-4=20

4[(1/4)x-4=20] (Sometimes eliminate fraction(s) to simplify operations)

x-16=80

x-(16–16)=80+16

x-0=96

x=96

PROOF

If x=96, then the inverse of the expression 1/4x-4=20 returns

x=(20+4)4

96=24×4 and

96=96 establishes the root (zero) x=96 of the expression 1/4x-4=20 in the premises
