Question

How do you write "4 more than one third of a number n is 6" as an equation and how do you solve it

Answer 1

Answer:

4+1/3x6=6 remember to use PEMDAS  so 1/3x6 would be less than the total of 6 or higher. this is because 1/3 is smaller than 1. 1/3x6=2  1/3 of 6 is 2. see the pattern?   now we add 4 to 2 to get 6

hope this helped plz let me know if i am wrong if i am right plz give brainliest

Answer 2

How do you write "4 more than one third of a number n is 6" as an equation and how do you solve it?

To write an expression as an equation, you have to first break it down.

4 more is written as plus 4, or +4. One third of a number n is written as $\frac{1}{3}\times n$ , which is also n being divided by 3, or $\frac{n}{3}$. is 6 is equal to $=6$. To write that as an equation, you just have to combine all the numbers/phrases.

$\frac{n}{3} +4=6\ \text{or}\ \frac{1}{3}n+4=6$

To solve the equation, you need to first leave the variable alone.

$\frac{n}{3} +4=6$

To leave the variable n alone, you need to remove the 4 by doing the opposite of it, which is subtracting 4. Subtract 4 on both sides:

$\frac{n}{3}+4-4=6-4$

$\frac{n}{3}=2$

Remember you're looking for n alone. In the equation, n is being divided by 3. To make it 1n, or n, you need to do the opposite of dividing by 3, which is multiplying by 3. Multiply both sides by 3:

$\frac{n}{3} \times 3=2 \times 3$

$n=6$

Equation: $\bf\frac{n}{3} +4=6\ \text{or}\ \frac{1}{3}n+4=6$

Value of n: $\bf n=6$
