1811?

Were you shooting for 1911?

Derp, went the wrong way, dividing instead of multiplying.

3792+84-254=x/2
3876-254=x/2
3622=x/2
3622x2=(x/2)2
7244=x

ETA: Bonus for showing my work???

By dividing instead of multiplying by 2. This is why I don't do maths in my head.

2(1896) + 84 - 254 = x / 2

3792 + 84 - 254 = x / 2
3792 + 84 - 254 = x / 2

3622 = x / 2
3622 = x / 2

3622(2) = 2(x / 2)

3622(2) = 2(x / 2)

7244 = 2(x / 2)

7244 = 2(x / 2)

7244 = 2x / 2

7244 = 2x / 2

7244 = x

x = 7244

EDIT: Added some clarity

7244 is correct.

I did get 1811 and went and read the rest to make sure, i divided instead of multi.

Keep it up guys, i dont mind learning or being challenged.

Please, at least post a problem that a Georgia Tech student would have to work to solve. Not one that a UGA valedictorian could do in his/her head.
