Question

The product of a number and 9, increased by 4, is 58. Find the number.

Answer 1

9x+4=58( product means multiply and increase means add)
9x=54
x=6

Answer 2

• 4 + 9 × x = 58
• 9x + 4 = 58
• 9x = 58 - 4 = 54
• 9x = 58

divide 58 by 9 ( 58 ÷ 9 = 6 )

• x = 6

now let's find the number ,

• x × ( 9 + 4 ) = 58

since x = 6 ,

• 6 × ( 9 + 4 ) = 58

thus the number is 58
