A cattle rancher gave 1/3 of his land to his son and kept the remaining 2/3 for himself. He kept 34 acres of land. How much land did he have to begin with?(explain with detail and steps please I do not just want the answar thank you)

Sagot :

Answer:

He had 51 acres to start with.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original plot of land be x

2/3 x  = 34         Multiply both sides by 3

3 * 2/3 x = 34 * 3

2x = 102             Divide by 2

2x/2 = 102/2

x = 51
