4. 4 and an unknown number have average smaller than 10, the greatest possible value of unknown number is?
Correct answer: B. 15
- A. 14
- B. 15
- C. 20
- D. 16
Explanation
Let's denote the unknown number as xThe average of 4 and x being smaller than 10 can be expressed as:4+x/2= 10Files sale with genuine Chce todayNow, let's solve for4+x < 20Subtracting 4 from both sides:x<16So, the greatest possible value for x is 15, making option (b) 15 the correct answer.

About Linear Equations
Linear equations contain variables only to the first power and produce straight-line relationships when represented graphically. Problems involve solving equations with brackets, fractions, and variables on both sides, forming equations from statements, and handling simultaneous linear equations, which differ from quadratic equations by having no squared variable.
