Question

If you multiply me by 7, subtract 2 and then divide by 6, you get 9. What number am I?

Answer 1

The number is 8.

Explanation:

To solve this, I worked backwards. Start with 9 and multiply by 6 to get 54. Add 2 to get 56 and divide by 7 to get 8. To prove that this is correct, `8*7=56-2=54/6=9`.
