Question

What is 3x +1
If you substitute x as an even no divide it by 2. if odd multiply by 3 and add 1

Answer 1

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

let's take x be 5

according to the question 5×3+1=16

so,3(16)+1

48+1=49

Answer 2

If the variable x is an even number, imagine it being something easy for now, like 24.
Now the question says: (3/24)-1
3/24=8
8-1=7
And there you have it!
But if the value of variable x is an odd number like 27, the equation would be: (3/27)-1.
3-27=9
9-1=10
And there you have it!

Always remember that when you are finding the value of an equation like this, you have to do the opposite of what the equation says.
