Answer:
The number is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number
Now let's break it down!
Sum of a number and 3 gives;
x + 3
This is then doubled to give;
2* (x + 3)
This is added to the product of 6 and the original number to give 46
Product of 6 and the original number = 6 * x
Now 2* (x + 3) is added to 6 * x to give 46
2* (x + 3) + 6*x = 46
2x + 6 + 6x = 46
8x + 6 = 46
Subtract 6 from both sides
8x + 6 - 6 = 46 - 6
8x = 40
x = 40/8
x = 5
Hence, the number is 5
Assuming she set up the problem vertically, she began subtracting from the left, instead if the right.
Answer:
in what number is the question ate
3 1/2 = 7/2
so y+7/2 = 6
y=6-7/2 = 12-7 / 2 = 5/2 = 2 1/2
