Question
8181 less than four times a number is equal to the number. What is the number?
Solution
Let's denote the unknown number as x.
According to the problem, four times this number minus 8181 is equal to the number itself. We can write this as an equation:
4x - 8181 = x
To solve for x, we first need to get all terms involving x on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting x from both sides:
4x - x = 8181
This simplifies to:
3x = 8181
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 8181 / 3
So, the number is 2727.
