When six times a number is decreased by 9, the result is 3. What is the number?

1 answer:

7 0

Lets say the number = x

Six times a number is decreased by 9, the result is 3
6 times x is decreased by 9, the result is 3
(decreased means to subtract and results means equals)

6x - 9 = 3 (add 9 to each side)
 +9 +9
6x = 3 + 9
6x = 12 (divide each side by 6)
6x/6 = 12/6
x = 2

The number is 2

7/2

The expression that best estimates 6 3/4 divided by 1 2/3 is 7/2. 6 3/4 (or 6.75) divided by 1 2/3 (or 1.66...) comes out to 4 1/20 (or 4.05). The closest value to this in the options available is 7/2 (or 3.5). This answer is only .55 away from the correct value, while the rest of the options are far less close.
