Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
First we can make an equation by replacing the unknown number with x :
First step of problem:
x-6
Second part of problem:
4(x-6)
Third part of the problem:
4(x-6)=36
First we can expand the bracket to give us:
4x-24=36
Now we add 24 to both sides:
4x = 60
Now we divide both sides by 4 for our final answer of
x= 15
To check this answer we can put it back into the problem:
4(15-6)=36
4(9)=36
✅
Therefore our answer that was thought was 15.
