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!

The are of a rectangular community the graden is 300 square feet. The length of a rectangular graden is three times its width. F
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

  • length: 30 ft
  • width: 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The description of the garden fits that of 3 squares arranged side-by-side. The area of each of those would be 100 ft², so their side length would be ...

  s = √A= √(100 ft²) = 10 ft

This dimension is the width of the garden, whose length is 3 times this amount.

The length and width of the garden are 30 ft and 10 ft, respectively.

Use what you know about decimals or fractions to explain why (0.2)•(0.002)=0.0004
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

So any time you are multiplying something, you are making "groups of"

so 3 groups of 2 = 6, 4 groups of 3 = 12

But with decimals or fractions, because they are a value less than zero, the numbers become increasingly small instead of bigger, like standard multiplication.

So for example, 1 group of 1/2 = 1/2

2 groups of 1/4 = 1/2

and so on

hope this helps!
