I think the Lord for allowing me to see another birthday on Friday, December 2. He has blessed me and kept me from birth to the present time. Thank you, Lord, for being so good!
@kiara_whispers Using the PEMDAS steps, the answer is 6. PEMDAS is the standard order of math operations. It tells the exact order to evaluate expressions with multiple operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (left to right).
@Arden_2210 Answer is 32. Look at the differences in the answers. The difference between 5 and 12 is 7. The difference between 12 and 21 is 9. So, the next difference between the two numbers will be 11. After 21, the number will be 32.
@SaqibBanbh90290 X = number; You would need to solve for "x." You can write the algebraic equation as shown below.
2x + 12 = 30
2x = 30 -12
2x = 18
___ ___
2 2
Divide both sides of the equal sign by 2.
X = 9
Answer is 9. Then, check the equation.
2(9) + 12 =30
18 +12 = 30
@Mishi_2210 The answer is 2. The number of sons, sisters, and sisters' children is irrelevant. The number of people mentioned in this riddle is just a way of giving the illusion that these people went on the same picnic.
@Mishi_2210 2, just the couple! The number of family members is irrelevant. It is just a distraction to give you the illusion that they went on the picnic.
