Use the variable \( x \) to set up an equation for the problem:

If 139 is added to a number, the result is 44 less than four times the number.

Equation:

\[ 139 + x = 4x - 44 \]

Answer :

Answer:

73

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number = X

If 139 is added, it becomes= X +139

the result becomes 44less than four time the number

= 4(39)-44 = 156-44 =112

the set up equation becomes

X +39 = 112

solving for the value of X

X = 112-39

X = 73
