wait I misread the calculation you are correct

The answer is 194.

To check whether 194 is correct or not let's do it step wise.

• First dividing by 6 $$\implies \dfrac{194}{6} = \dfrac{97}{3}$$.
• Next multiplying by 3 $$\implies \dfrac{97}{3} = 97$$
• Next subtract 1 $$\implies 97 - 1 = 96$$
• Next add 2 $$\implies 96 + 2 = \boxed{98}$$

Here is how I interpret your instructions:

$\frac{x}{6} \times 3 -1 + 2 = 98 \\ \frac{x}{2} + 1 = 98 \\ \frac{x}{2} = 97 \\ x = 194$
