Question

X + 1 x + 1 x + 1 x + 1 x + 1 24 What is the value of x in the tape diagram above? 2 o 4​

Answer 1

It is 3 because because 6x3 equal 18 then you add the 6 ones

Answer 2

x = 3

Explanation:

The diagram represents

x + 1 + x + 1 + x + 1 + x + 1 + x + 1 + x + 1 = 24, that is

6x + 6 = 24 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

6x = 18 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 3
