Question

What is the sum of 4 and a number is 22

Answer 1

`18`

Step-by-step explanation

Let the number be x.

The sum of 4 and the number is 22.

This means that:

`x+4=22`

Solve for x by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} x+4-4=22-4 \\ x=18 \end{gathered}`

The number is 18.
