Question

Brainliest for correct awnser! Hannah thinks of a number. She multiplies the number by 2, adds 4, and then divides the result by 3. The number she ends up with is 6. What number did Anna start with? If you work backward to solve this problem, what do you do first?A.Multiply 6 by 2B.Multiply 6 by 3C.Divide 6 by 2D.Subtract 4 from 6

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Multiply 6 by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the opposite order of what Hannah did. The last step that she did was divide by 3, so you would multiply the result (6) with 3:

B. Multiply 6 by 3

Your step by step for getting the number Hannah started with:

First, multiply 6 with 3:

6 x 3 = 18

Next, subtract 4:

18 - 4 = 14

Next, divide by 2:

14/2 = 7

Hannah started with the number 7.

Answer 2

Answer: Hannah started with 7.

B. Multiply 6 by 3

Explanation:

Let the number be y

2 × y = 2y

(2y + 4)/3 = 6

2y + 4 = 6×3 = 18

2y + 4 = 18

2y = 18 - 4 = 14

y = 14/2 = 7

To solve the problem backward, the first step is to multiply 6 by 3.
