Part a)
Let
x------> the number
\(x=6+2(9)\) -------> the riddle
Solve for x
\(x=6+2(9)\)
\(x=6+18\)
\(x=24\)
therefore
the answer Part a) is
the number is \(24\)
Part b)
Solve the new riddle i am 8 more than 4 times 15 what number am i
Let
x------> the number
\(x=8+4(15)\) -------> the new riddle
Solve for x
\(x=8+4(15)\)
\(x=8+60\)
\(x=68\)
therefore
the answer Part b) is
the number is \(68\)
