Malin and Shawn begin with the same number, t. Malin subtracts 6 from t and then divides the result by 6. Shawn adds 7 to t and

then divides the result by 7. If Malin's final answer is the same as Shawn's final answer, what was the number t?

Answer:

t=84

Step-by-step explanation:

Malin's answer is $\frac{t-6}{6}$. Shawn's answer is $\frac{t+7}{7}$. We know these are equal, so we have the equation

$$\frac{t-6}{6} = \frac{t+7}{7}.$$

To eliminate denominators from the problem, we multiply both sides by $6\cdot 7$:

$$\frac{6\cdot 7\cdot (t-6)}{6} = \frac{6\cdot 7\cdot (t+7)}{7},$$

then simplify to get

$$7\cdot (t-6) = 6\cdot (t+7).$$

The parentheses are important here! For example, the parentheses on the left side of the equation tell us that it is $t-6$, not just $t$, which is multiplied by $7$.

Now we expand using the distributive property:

7t - 7\cdot 6 &= 6t + 6\cdot 7;\\

7t - 42 &= 6t + 42.

Adding $42$ to both sides gives

$$7t = 6t + 84,$$

then subtracting $6t$ from both sides gives $t=\boxed{84}$.

(We can check that starting from $t=84$, Malin and Shawn do indeed get the same final answer -- namely, $13$.)

T

adds 6
t-6

divides by 6
(t-6)/6



shawn
7+t

divide by 7
(7+t)/7


theyare equal


(t-6)/6=(7+t)/7
times 42 both sides
7(t-6)=6(t+7)
distribute
7t-42=6t+42
minus 6t both sides
t-42=42
add 42 both sides
t=84

Black_prince [1.1K]
The answer is C. 14.6.

By evaluate, they mean substitute in the values of x and y to find the total of the expression, so you get:
(3^2 + 4^3)/(3 + 2) = (9 + 64)/5 = 73/5 = 14.6

I hope this helps!

Can someone help me out ? Don't just guess the answer :(
Monica [59]
1) 2m+6 / m² + 7m - 12  +  (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2(m+3) / (m+4)(m+3)  + (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2/(m+4) + (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2+m+2 / (m+4)

= m+4 / m+4

= 1  [ Option A ]

Answer 2) 3/ (x+4)  + 7/ (x-3)

=  3(x-3) + 7(x+4)/ (x² +x - 12)

= 3x-9 + 7x + 28 / (x² +x - 12)

= 10x + 19 / (x² +x - 12)  [ Option A ]

Hope this helps!
