5. Two more than One-fourth of a number is six, what is the number.​

Answer:Step-by-step explanation:We can construct the equation by breaking down the parts of the problem statement. Let's say that [text]N[/tex] is the number that we are trying to solve for in this problem:"one-fourth of a number" = [tex]\frac{1}{4}N[/tex]"two more than one-fourth of a number" = [tex]\frac{1}{4}N + 2[/tex]"two more than one-fourth of a number is six" = [tex]\frac{1}{4}N + 2 = 6[/tex]Now that we have our equation, we can solve for [tex]N[/tex]:Subtract 2 from both sides:[tex]\frac{1}{4}N = 4[/tex]Multiply both sides by 4:[tex]N = 16[/tex]
