Cindy was asked by her teacher to subtract 3 from a certain number and then divide the result by 9. instead, she subtracted 9 and then divided the result by 3, giving an answer of 34. what would her answer have been if she had worked the problem correctly?

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's look at the operation that the teacher asked Cindy

Let's call the certain number X

Now let's see the operation that Cindy did

From the operation that Cindy did we can clear the value of x

Now we substitute the value of x obtained in the operation that the teacher said to find the answer if she had worked the problem correctly.
