Answer 1

To translate the sentence into an equation, we can identify the number as \( n \). The phrase "the sum of a number and twenty-four" means we can write it as \( n + 24 \). The sentence states that this sum is equal to sixty-seven, which gives us the equation:

\[ n + 24 = 67 \]

Now, to solve for \( n \), we will subtract 24 from both sides of the equation:

\[ n + 24 - 24 = 67 - 24 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ n = 43 \]

So the solution is:

**Equation:** \( n + 24 = 67 \)
**Solution:** \( n = 43 \)
