if you divide this number by 2 you will get 3 multiplied by 6. Subtract 3 groups of 3 and you will get 3 multiplied by 9.
I am so confused trying to help my 8 year old figure this out i have come up with 9 then 36 then 0
Some number divided by 2 must equal 18
Obviously that number must have been 36
check: what is 36 ÷ 2 ?
3 groups of 3 would be 9 , so 9 subtracted from 36 leaves 27.
Is what is left 3 times 9 ?
so whats the answer please.
I stated it,
the number is 36
Did you not read my answer?
Let's break down the problem step by step to figure out the solution.
"If you divide this number by 2, you will get 3 multiplied by 6."
Let's assume the unknown number is represented by "x". So we have the equation:
x / 2 = 3 * 6
To find the value of "x", we can start by solving the right side of the equation:
3 * 6 = 18
Now we have:
x / 2 = 18
To solve for "x", we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
2 * (x / 2) = 2 * 18
x = 36
So, the unknown number is 36.
Now let's move on to the next part of the problem:
"Subtract 3 groups of 3, and you will get 3 multiplied by 9."
To find the result of subtracting 3 groups of 3, we can calculate:
3 groups of 3 = 3 * 3 = 9
So the equation becomes:
36 - 9 = 3 * 9
To calculate the left side of the equation:
36 - 9 = 27
Now the equation becomes:
27 = 3 * 9
And indeed, 27 is equal to 3 multiplied by 9.
So the final answer to the problem is:
The unknown number is 36, and when you subtract 3 groups of 3 from it, you get 3 multiplied by 9, which is also equal to 27.
