Question

If 6 times a number is increased by 4, the result is the same as the number decreased by 16. Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

580

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

$x -16=6x+4$
First you would move -16 to the other side by adding it.
$x = 6x + 20$
Then you would move 6x to the other side, by subtracting 6×
$- 5x = 20$
Then you would divide by -5 to get x by itself and solve.
$x = - 4$
