Question

Translate into mathematical statement (Use variable x)

‘ 11 less than four times a number is equal to 35’​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let 'x' be the variable

Four times of a number 'x' is 4x

11 less than four times of a number 'x' is 4x - 11, which should equal to 35. So,

Equation

4x - 11 = 35

If you want the number 'x'

4x - 11 = 35

(Transversing of 11 to RHS)

4x = 35 + 11

4x = 46

(Transversing of 4 to RHS)

x = 46/4

x = 11.5

The number 'x' is equal to 11.5
