Question

CREATE AN EXPRESSION & SOLVE.
Kiera thinks of a number.
She subtracted 4 from it.
Then she multiplied that
answer by 3. She got a final
answer of 24. What was her
starting number?

Answer 1

Answer:

24/3-4

Answer is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, you have to work backwards. You also have to use PEMDAS. Since she multiplied her answer to get 24, you have to work backwards and divide by 3 first. You will get the number 8 after that because 24/3 is 8. Since she also subtracted 4, you have to work backwards and add 4. That gives you an original number of 12.

Answer 2

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

explanation: if you go backwards you divide 24 by 3 getting 8, then you add 4 to that and then you get 12.
