GIVING BRAINLIEST 6 added to a number is the same as 18 subtracted from 4 times the number. What is the number? a. 6 − x = 4x − 18, 4.8 c. 6 + x = 4x − 18, 7 b. 6 + x = 4x − 18, 9 d. 6 + x = 4x − 18, 8

The equation is 6 + X = 4X - 18

The number is 12/5 or 2 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be X

6 + X = 4X - 18

Add 4X to both sides of the equation

6 + X + 4X = 18 - 4X + 4X

6 + 5X = 18

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

6 - 6 + 5X = 18 - 6

5X = 12

Divide both sides by 5

5X/5 = 12/5

X = 2 2/5

The number is 2 2/5

the answer is the third / last answer
