Let x be the number.

Then; 

6x-18=-42 (solve for x now) 
6x=-42+18 
6x=-24 
x=-4 

Therefore, this number would be -4. 

Hope I helped :)

To start off, you want to create an equation. 18 subtracted six times from a certain number (let's use a variable 'x') would look like: 6x - 18.
6x - 18 = -42

Next, isolate the variable by adding 18 to both sides.
6x - 18 = -42
    + 18   + 18
       6x = -24

Lastly, solve for x.
6x/6 = -24/6
x = -4

Find the Y-coordinate of point P that lies 1/3 along segment RS, where R (-7, -2) and S (2, 4).
QveST [7]

Solution:

Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:

To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have

\begin{gathered} RP:PS \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}:\frac{2}{3} \\ thus,\text{ we have} \\ 1:2 \end{gathered}

Using the section formula expressed as

[\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]

In this case,

\begin{gathered} m=1 \\ n=2 \end{gathered}

where

\begin{gathered} x_1=-7 \\ y_1=-2 \\ x_2=2 \\ y_2=4 \end{gathered}

Thus, by substitution, we have

\begin{gathered} [\frac{1(2)+2(-7)}{1+2},\frac{1(4)+2(-2)}{1+2}] \\ \Rightarrow[\frac{2-14}{3},\frac{4-4}{3}] \\ =[-4,\text{ 0\rbrack} \end{gathered}

Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is

Find the x- and y- intercepts of the equation 7x+ 14 y=28
7nadin3 [17]

Chapter : Linear equations

Lesson : Math for Junior High School

7x + 14y = 28

if want to find x and y, we must substitution value 0 to the equation x and y :

# If x = 0, then :

7x + 14y = 28

= 7(0) + 14y = 28

= 0 + 14y = 28

= 14y = 28 → y = 28/14

= y = 2

# If y = 0, then :

7x + 14y = 28

= 7x + 14(0) = 28

= 7x + 0 = 28

= 7x = 28 → x = 28 / 7

= x = 4

and that result was proven x = 4 and y = 2
