You playing a board game. All even numbers are positive, and all odd numbers are negative.a positive number indicates forward movement and a negative number indicates backward movement. During your last 10 turns you have gone back 90 spaces.if you spun the same number each time which number did you spin?
90/10 = ?
Assuming the spaces you move corresponds to the number you spun,
and you spun the same number each of the 10 times,
what is 90/10 ?
To determine the number you spun each time, we can set up an equation based on the given information. Let's denote the number you spun as "x."
According to the information provided, all even numbers are positive, and all odd numbers are negative. We also know that going back (backward) is represented by negative numbers.
In the last 10 turns, you went back 90 spaces. Since going backward is represented by negative numbers, we can express this as:
-1x - 1x - 1x - 1x - 1x - 1x - 1x - 1x - 1x - 1x = -90
When we simplify this equation, it becomes:
-10x = -90
To solve for "x," we can divide both sides of the equation by -10:
x = (-90) / (-10)
Simplifying further, we have:
x = 9
Therefore, if you spun the same number each time during your last 10 turns and went back 90 spaces in total, you spun the number 9 each time.
