The possible numbers that Melody could have picked are -4 and 4.

The operation that prevents us from knowing with 100% certainty the number Melody had picked is multiplication which is implied by the phrase "double the number".

Given, Let x be the number Melody had chosen.

Thus, tripling the number will give 3x, and

squaring this will result to (3x)² which is equals to 9x².

Dividing the square of the number by 2 and subtracting 30 from its quotient will give 42:

9x²/2 ₋ 30 = 42

9x²/2 = 42 ₊ 30

9x²/2 = 72

9x² = 72 × 2

9x² = 144

x² = 144/9

x² = 16

x = ±√16

x = ±4

x = ₊4 or x = 4

hence melody could have picked ₊4 or ₋4 numbers.

A number increased by 5 then divided by 2
alex41 [277]

Answer:

(x + 5) /2

Step-by-step explanation:

"a number" (this will represent as "x")

"increased" another way to say add or "+"

then divided by 2

If you wrote it out like this "x+5/2"it would be wrong because of PEMDAS making you want to divide first instead of after.
