In this question, we are given a relationship between two numbers. We can solve the equation by isolating the unknown variable, 'x', on one side of the equation and simplifying to find the solution. The answer is x = 2.
In this question, we are given the relationship between two numbers. Let's define the unknown number as 'x'. According to the given information, a number is equal to six less than four times the number. We can express this mathematically as:
x = 4x - 6
To solve for 'x', we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Let's subtract 4x from both sides:
x - 4x = -6
Simplifying, we get:
-3x = -6
To isolate 'x', we can divide both sides of the equation by -3:
x = -6 / -3
The solution is x = 2.
