5 times a number increased by 18 is the same as 36 more than times 4 times the number. Find the number

18

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 18 = 4x + 36   subtract 4x from both sides

(5x-4x) +18 = 36

x + 18 = 36   subtract 18 from both sides

x= 36-18

x = 18

the number is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement can be written mathematically as;

5y + 18 = 36 + 4y

We solve

5y - 4y = 36 - 18

y = 18
