Question

If twenty-four is subtracted from a number, the result is the same as the number divided by nine. What is the number?

Answer 1

x - 24  = x /9
multiply through by 9:-
9x - 216 = x
8x = 216 
x = 27 answer

Answer 2

The required number is 27.

What are linear equation?

A linear equation only has one or two variables. No variables in a linear equation is raised to power greater than 1 or used as denominator of a fraction.

Let x be the number,

Then

Twenty-four is subtracted from a number = x - 24

and number divided by nine = x/9

Now according to the question,

x - 24 = x/9

Multiplying whole equation by 9 we get,

9x - 216 = x

Adding 216 both the sides we get

9x  = x + 216

Substracting x both the side we get

8x = 216

Dividing whole equation by 8 we get

x = 27

which is the required number.

Hence,the required Number is 27.
