Think of a number subtract 18 from it divide it by 3 the result is $-4$, find the number.
Given:
Subtract $18$ from a number, divide it by 3 the result is $-4$.
To do:
We have to find the number.
Solution:
Let the numbers be $x$.
According to the question,
$(x-18)\div3=-4$
$\frac{x}{3}-\frac{18}{3}=-4$
$\frac{x}{3}=-4+6$
$x=3(2)$
$x=6$
Therefore, the required number is $6$.
