Understanding mathematics, resource 2, chapter nine.
6. if i think of a number, halve it, take away 5 and then add on 3 times the
number i thought of i end up with a number that is 4 more than twice the
number i first thought of. what was the number i first thought of?
7. i think of a number and add it to twice itself. if i then take away one less
than the number first thought of i end up with an answer of 9. find the
number first thought of.
8 i think of a number, add 4 and then multiply the answer by 5. i could
have achieved the same final answer had i instead multiplied my chosen
number by 4 and then added 5. what was the number i thought of?
9. if i take a particular number from 3, double the answer and take the
result of doing this from the answer obtained by multiplying the particular
number by 3 and adding 15, i end up with 25. what is the particular
number i started with?
10. i think of a number, add three, divide the answer by 2 and then add 7
this gives an answer that is the same as i would have obtained had i
instead doubled the number first thought of and then taken away 8. find
the number first thought of
pls answer whichever you can do!

6. 6 is the number I thought of
8. -15 is the number I thought of
Step-by-step explanation:
6. Let x represent the number you thought of.
x/2 . . . halve it
x/2 -5 . . . take away 5 (from the previous result)
x/2 -5 +3x . . . then add on 3 times the number I thought of
= . . . I end up with ...
4 + . . . four more than ...
4 + 2x . . . ... twice the number I first thought of.
So, the equation is ...
x/2 -5 +3x = 4 +2x
Subtracting 2x we have
x/2 -5 +3x -2x = 4
Adding 5 and collecting terms, we get
(3/2)x = 9
Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x, we get ...
x = (2/3)(9)
x = 6
The number I first thought of was 6.

Check
After I halve it, take away 5 and add back 3 times 6, I have ...
3 -5 +18 = 16
After I add 4 to twice the number, I have ...
4 +2·6 = 16
So, the first set of manipulations gives the same result as the second. 6 is the answer.
8. Let x represent the number I thought of.
x +4 . . . add 4
5(x +4) . . . multiply the answer by 5
= . . . . I could get the same final answer by ...
4x . . . multiplying my number by 4
4x +5 . . . then adding 5
So, the equation is ...
5(x +4) = 4x +5
5x +20 = 4x +5 . . . . eliminate parentheses
x + 20 = 5 . . . . . . . . subtract 4x
x = -15 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 20
The number I thought of was -15.

Check
Add 4 and multiply the result by 5: 5(-15+4) = 5(-11) = -55.
Multiply the result by 4 and add 5: 4(-15)+5 = -60+5 = -55, the same final answer.
The answer of -15 checks with the problem statement.

For 1 hour Trey cleans 1/6 of the office area.
1/4 + 1/6 = 2 / 12 + 3 / 12 = 5 / 12
5/12 1 hour
1 x hours
x = (1 * 1) : (5/12) = 12/5 = 2.4
A ) 2.4 hours
