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

If 2a+b=6 and a−6=b, what is the value of a?
earnstyle [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2a + b = 6......equation 1

a - 6 = b

a = b + 6........equation 2

Putting equation 2 in equation 1

2 ( b + 6 ) + b = 6

2b + 12 + b = 6

3b = 6 - 12

3b = - 6

b = - 6 / 3

Therefore b = - 2

Now

a = - 2 + 6 = 4

hope it will help :)

The given sample's confidence interval is 4.73 ± 0.1199, or from 4.61 to 4.85

<h3>What is the z score?</h3>

The z-score is a numerical assessment of a value's connection to the mean of a set of values, expressed in terms of standards from the mean, that is used in statistics.

Given data;

Mean  = 4.73

Standard deviation  = 0.865

Sample size  = 200

interval  = 95%

Confidence interval=?

95% of samples contain the population mean (μ) within the confidence interval of 4.73 ± 0.1199.

Hence, the sample's confidence interval is 4.73 ± 0.1199, from 4.61 to 4.85

To learn more about the Z score, refer to;
