Question

multiply the number by 4. add 6 to the product.divide this sum by 2.subtract 3 from the quotient. the first number is 3.

Answer 1

Again, you start with the number 3.

Then you multiply by 4: 3 * 4.

Then you add 6: 3 * 4 + 6.

Then you divide it by 2: (3 * 4 + 6) / 2.

Then you subtract 3: (3 * 4 + 6) / 2 - 3.
