Zaria wants you to solve this puzzle:

"I am thinking of a number. If you divide my number by 2 and subtract 4, you will get 2. What is my number?"

Your answer should be 12 because you would take 2 ( because that is the ending number) and add 4. Then multiply by 2 and it is 12. step 1) 2+4=6 step 2) 6 x 2=12 step 3) 12=12 you're answer

Let
x--------> the number
we know that
2 x ​ − 4 = 2
solve for x
Adds 4 both sides
2 x ​ − 4 + 4 = 2 + 4
2 x ​ = 6
Multiply by 2 both sides
2 ∗ 2 x ​ = 2 ∗ 6
x = 12
therefore
the answer is
the number is 12
