Question

Zaria wants you to solve this puzzle : “I am thinking of a number. If you divide my number by 2 and subtract 4, you will get 2. What is my number?

Answer 1

Your answer should be 12 because you would take 2 ( because that is the ending number) and add 4. Then multiply by 2 and it is 12.
step 1) 2+4=6
step 2) 6 x 2=12
step 3) 12=12 you're answer

Answer 2

Let

x--------> the number

we know that

`(x)/(2) -4=2`

solve for x

Adds
`4` both sides

`(x)/(2) -4+4=2+4`

`(x)/(2)=6`

Multiply by
`2` both sides

`2*(x)/(2)=2*6`

`x=12`

therefore

the answer is

the number is
`12`
