Question

4 more than one third of a number n is 6. An equation is? The solution is n =?

Answer 1

`(1)/(3)`n + 4 = 6

6

Explanation:

Given problem:

4 more than one third of a number n is 6

Unknown:

The equation = ?

Solution of the number = ?

Solution:

let the number = n

So, 4 more than one third of a number;

One third of n =
`(1)/(3)`n

4 more;

`(1)/(3)`n + 4

is 6;

`(1)/(3)`n + 4 = 6 (equation of the expression)

Let us now solve the equation:

`(1)/(3)`n + 4 = 6

`(1)/(3)`n = 6 - 4

`(1)/(3)`n = 2

n = 6
