Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]x = 13[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be [tex]x[/tex] , then from the question :

[tex]4x + 6 = 58[/tex]

subtract 6 from both sides , we have

[tex]4x = 58 - 6[/tex]

[tex]4x = 52[/tex]

divide through by 4

[tex]x = 52/4[/tex]

[tex]x = 13[/tex]

Answer:

X = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+6=58

4x+6-6=58-6

4x / 4 =52/ 4

x=13
