Daniel thinks of a number and subtracts 2 from it. He divides 32 by the result. If
his answer is 4, what number does he
think of

the number is 126

Step-by-step explanation:

1) multiply each side by 32: (n-2) / 32 = 4

2) subtract 2 from each side: n-2 = 128

3) n = 126

130

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically this number, minus 2, divided by 32 is 4, so lets write the unknown number as x.

So, (x-2)/32 = 4.

First multiply both sides by 32 to get rid of the denominator.

(32)(x-2)/32 = 4(32)          x-2 = 128

Now the -2 remains to figure out x, so you add 2 to both sides to get rid of the -2.

So, x-2+2 = 128+2,    -2 +2 is 0, and 128 +2 is 130, so you have x = 130.
