Question

Write the sentence as an algebraic equation and find its solution.

Six more than a number is $30$.

Answer 1

Step 1: Write the equation

Let, the number be $x$.

So, the equation is $x+6=30$

Step 2: Solve the equation

$$\begin{gathered} x+6=30 \\ \Rightarrow x=30-6 \\ \Rightarrow x=24 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the solution of the equation is $24$.
