Problem:

Malin and Shawn begin with the same number, t.

Malin subtracts 6 from t and then divides the result by 6.

Shawn adds 7 to t and then divides the result by 7.

If Malin's final answer is the same as Shawn's final answer, what was the number t?

t is equal to any number just choose one. In the end they both end up with t+1. I hope my answer is correct and sorry for my handwriting.
