Taking the answer 35 multiplying it by 3 and adding 6 would give the original number chosen. (35 × 3) - 6 = 111 Original number chosen is 111. Now perform the correct operations. 111 - 3 = 108 108 ÷ 6 = 18 The correct answer is 18 Hope it helped!
She subtracted 6 from a certain number and then divided the result by 3, giving her 35. (x - 6) / 3 = 35 x - 6 = 35*3 x - 6 = 105 x = 105 + 6 x = 111 so she should have subtracted 3, then divided by 6 (111 - 3) / 6 = 108/6 = 18 <===
