Four times the sum of a number and -3 is 4 more than times the number. Write and solve and equation to find the number.

The number is .

Explanation:

We have , Four times the sum of a number and -3 is 4 more than times the number.Let's consider step by step as :

Let the number be x , Four times sum of a number & -3 is . Now, this is 4 more than times the number i.e . According to question these both statements are equivalent as :

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

The number is .

Explanation:

Let the number be denoted by x.

Now the sum of number and -3 is : (x-3)

Four times this sum is : 4(x-3)

The number that is 4 more than x is : 4+x

Represent these data in equation we get;

                                     4(x-3)= 4+x

                                or, 4x - 12 = 4 + x

                                or, 4x-x= 12 +4

                                or, 3x = 16

                                or, x=

Hence the required number is   .

explanation:

sand 60

clay 10

silt 30

sandy loam should be dominated by the sand. as the amount of sand increased, the amount of slit needed to anchor the plants' roots to the sand will also be increased. even though the amount is very little, 10% part of clay is still necessary for proper oxidation.
