Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the word problem into an equation:

n(a number) was divided by 2

[tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex]

followed by this quotient beying multiplied by 4

[tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex]*4

the product was added to 9

[tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex]*4+9

the total sum was 25

[tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex]*4+9 = 25

use PEMDAS to solve the equation

subtract 9 on both sides

[tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex]*4 = 16

cancel the 2 and the 4 using factorization

n*2 = 16

divide 2 on both sides

n = 8
