Answer:5

Step-by-step explanation:

reverse the steps

2(x+1)/3=4

2(x+1)/3×3=4×3

2(x+1)/2=12/2

x+1=6

x=6-1

x=5

Answer:

<em>My starting number is 5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote your number is a

We have:

Adding 1 => a + 1

Multiplying by 2 => (a + 1) x 2

Dividing by 3 => (a + 1) x 2/3

The final number is 4 => (a + 1) x 2/3 = 4

Now, we are going to work out a

Dividing both sides by 2/3:

(a + 1) x (2/3)/(2/3) = 4/(2/3)

then, we have:

(a + 1) x 1 = 4 x 3/2

then, we have:

a + 1 = 12/2

or

a + 1 = 6

=> a = 6 - 1 = 5

Hope this helps!

Pi/6 is the reference angle for:<br><br> 3pi/6<br><br> 5pi/6<br><br> 13pi/6<br><br> 8pi/6
Elanso [62]

Answer:

\frac{5\pi}{6}, \frac{13\pi}{6}

Step by step

Remember, a reference angle is a positive acute angle that represents an angle θ of any measurement.

a)

\frac{3\pi}{6}=90^\circ, then its reference angle is \frac{\pi}{2}

b)

\frac{5\pi}{6}=150^ \circ is in the second cuadrant, then its reference angle is 180^ \circ -150^{\circ}=30^{\circ}=\frac{\pi}{6}

c)

\frac{13\pi}{6}=390^\circ=360^\circ+30^\circ, then it is in the first cuadrant and the reference angle is 30^\circ =\frac{\pi}{6}.

d)

\frac{8\pi}{6}=240^\circ and it is in the third cuadrant, then its reference angle is 240^\circ -180^\circ=60^\circ=\frac{\pi}{3}
