Question

Write an equation for the following:

$12$is added to a number $x$.The sum is multiplied by $4$.The result is $18$.

Answer 1

The sum of $12$ and $x$ is $x+12$.

Now, multiplying this sum with $4$ we get $4(x+12)$.

After equating it with $18$ we get our equation.

Hence, the required equation is $4(x+12)=18$
