Question

Malin and Shawn begin with the same number, t.

Malin subtracts 6 from t and then divides the result by 6.

Shawn adds 7 to t and then divides the result by 7.

If Malin's final answer is the same as Shawn's final answer, what was the number t?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, as per the question,

t-6/6=t+7/7

=7t-42=6t+42

=t=42+42=84

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

• Malin substract= t-6
• Divides=t-6/6

• Shawn adds= t+7
• Divides=t+7/7

Given:the answer is equal.

So that

• t-6/6 = t+7/7

Cross multiplication

• (t-6)*7 = (t+7)*6
• 7t-42 =6t+42
• 7t-6t =42+42
• t =84 answer
