A number is added to 9. The result is then multiplied by 4 to give a new result of 120. What is the number ?

Respuesta :

Zinethar
a number is added to 9 can be written as 9 is added to a number.
This result is then multiplied by 4, meaning 120 is the result multiplied by 4.  Therefore, if we divide 120 by 4, we have the result prior to multiplication.
120/4=30
Therefore, when 9 is added to a number, it gets this number.
30-9=21
The number is 21

Hope this helps!
