Answer:
34
Explanation:
Let the number = n
The sum of a number and six = n+6
Three times the sum of a number and six = 3(n+6)
Four times the number =4n
Sixteen less than four times the number =4n-16
Therefore, the equation is:
[tex]3(n+6)=4n-16[/tex]We then solve for n.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3n+18=4n-16 \\ 3n-4n=-16-18 \\ -n=-34 \\ \text{Therefore: n=34} \end{gathered}[/tex]The number is 34.
