Question

A number was added to 9. This result was then multiplied by 2 and that total was then divided by 24. If the quotient was 1, what was the number

Answer 1

Let n be a number

n+9 (A number was added to 9)

2(n+9) (This result was then multiplied by 2)

2(n+9)/24 (then divided by 24)

2(n+9)/24 = 1 (the quotient was 1)

Multiply both sides by 24

2(n+9) = 24

Divide both sides by 2

n+9 =12

Subtract both sides by 9

n=3
