Call the unknown number n. From the problem statement, 5(6 + n) = 24, or 30 + 5n = 24, or 5n = 24 - 30 = - 6, or n = -(6/5).

Suppose the number is x. The sum of the number and two is x+2 Four times the sum is 4(x+2) The number times 8 is 8x 24 less than the number times 8 is 8x-24 4(x+2) = 8x-24 4x+8=8x-24 so 4x = 32 and x = 8
24(x + 2.25)
the sum of 18 and a number equals 24
4
To calculate 4 times the sum of a number and 6, you would first find the sum of the number and 6, then multiply that sum by 4. Let's represent the number as 'x'. So, the sum of the number and 6 would be x + 6. Multiplying this sum by 4 gives you the expression 4(x + 6), which simplifies to 4x + 24.
