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!

What is the sum of three tenths plus thirty nine hundredths equals blank a thirty six hundredths b forty two hundredths c sixty
ad-work [718]

Answer:c- sixty nine hundredths

Step-by-step explanation:

three tenths can be expressed in decimal as 3/10

thirty nine hundredths can be expressed in decimal as 39/100

Therefore the sum of three tenths plus thirty nine hundredths equals

3/10 +39/100

We first find the l.c.m of the two fractions equals 100 so we have 100 as the denominator

then 100 divided by 10  multiplied by 3 +100 divided by 100 multiplied by 39 as illustrated below gives the answer

3/10 +39/100

=30+39/100

=69/100= sixty nine hundredths
