Answer :
we can turn this into an equation.
if x stands for the number you are looking for, then
18 + 1/4 x = x
we can solve this equation
18 + 1/4 x = x
subtract 1/4x from both sides
18 = 3/4 x
divide both sides by 3/4
24 = x
if x stands for the number you are looking for, then
18 + 1/4 x = x
we can solve this equation
18 + 1/4 x = x
subtract 1/4x from both sides
18 = 3/4 x
divide both sides by 3/4
24 = x
n = number
....................................
n + 18 = n
4
n = n - 18
4
Cross Multiply
4 * ( n - 18 ) = n
4n - 72 = n
4n - n = 72
3n = 72
n = 72
3
n = 24
