Two less than one-sixth of a certain number is 1 more than one-fourth that number. What is the number?
Let the number be ( x ). The equation based on the problem statement can be set up as follows:
[ \frac{1}{6}x - 2 = \frac{1}{4}x + 1 ]
To solve for ( x ), first eliminate the fractions by multiplying the entire equation by 12:
[ 2x - 24 = 3x + 12 ]
Rearranging gives:
[ -x = 36 \implies x = 36 ]
Thus, the number is 36.
