This is how I got my answer
1)x-4 = x/4
2) 4x - 16 = x
3) 4x = x + 16
4) 3x = 16
5) x = 16/3

permit the selection which you are attempting to be x. The selection is split by using x. we are able to write this as x/5 The selection is subtracted by using 5. that's sometimes written as x - 5 Now, by way of fact the comparable answer is gained whilst the selection is split by using 5 (x/5) and whilst it extremely is subtracted by using 5 (x - 5) we are able to equate those 2: x/5 = x - 5 go multiply, x = 5x - 25 x - 5x = -25 -4x = -25 4x = 25 x = 25/4 The selection is 25/4 permit's examine: 25/4 divided by using 5 could be comparable as 25/4 x a million/5 = 5/4 25/4 subtracted by using 5 = 25/4 - 5 = 5/4. desire this enables :) Yuv :)

The answer is 5.3333333(recurring)
5.3333333 - 4 = 1.333333
5.3333333 / 4 = 1.333333
Solved by:
Let number be called Y.
Need to work out when Y - 4 = Y / 4
Now multiply through by 4: 4Y - 16 = Y
Now get the Ys on one side of the equation: 4Y - Y = 16
So 3Y = 16
Now Y = 16 / 3
Therefore Y = 5.3333333 recurring
Simple when you know how!

Let x be the number
The equation will be x/4=x-4
multiply 4 to both sides to remove the fraction: x=4x-16
3x=16
Divide both sides by 3... x=5.33333333333333333......

5.3333333333333-4=1.333333333333333
5.3333333333333/4=1.333333333333333
so the number is 5.333333333333333

by letting:
x - 4 = y
x/4 = y
therefore:
x-4= (x/4)
x - (x/4) = 4
[(4x - x) / 4] = 4
4x - x = 16
3x = 16
x = 16/ 3
x = 5.33
check:
5.33 / 4 = 1.33
5.33 - 4 = 1.33
bet im right!
