9 Less Than One Fourth Of A Number Is 6, What Is The Answer?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    9 less than one fourth of a number is 6 : To my sense this actually means 'One fourth of a number minus 9 equals 6". If that's what you mean, then here's a solution for 'a number, x':
    X/4 - 9 = 6
    x/4 = 6+9
    x/4 = 15
    x = 15 x 4
    x = 60 ANSWER

    If you really mean "9 less one fourth of a number" ... Then you need to word your questions more carefully please!

    If that is your question, then the solution is:
    9 - x/4 = 6
    -x /4 = 6-9
    -x/4 = -3
    x/4 = 3        (multiply both sides by -1)
    x = 3 x 4
    x = 12   ANSWER

      The answer for the above question is as follows:
      Let the number be x then the equation according to above conditions will be:
      9-(1/4ofx)=6
      9-1/4x=6
      x=-3x4 is the answer
      x=-12 is the answer.

        .25x - 9 = 6; 0.25 is equal to one-fourth of a number

        trasposing -9 to the right side, the equation becomes

        .25x      =6 + 9

        .25x      =15

        divide both sides by .25,

        [.25x     = 15]/.25

        Therefore,

              x      = 60 ^^
