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

The figure shown is a rectangle. If you draw a new rectangle in which the dimensions are doubled, what is the relationship betwe
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

L = 5

w = 3

Formula

Area = L*w

Solution

Area = 3 * 5

Area = 15

Now double both the width and the Length.

New Length = 2*5 = 10

New Width = 2 * 3 = 6

Area = New Length * New Width

Area = 10 * 6

Area = 60

Answer (look at the choices)

The old rectangle has an area of 15. The new Rectangle has an area of 60. If you double 15, do you get 60. No, so the answer is not A

The new rectangle is 60. If you halve it, do you get 15. No so the answer is Not B

C is the answer

D is you multiply 8 * 15, do you get 60? No so the answer is not D

The length of a diagonal of a large square garden is 15 yards. What is the approximate length of one side of the square garden?
Ray Of Light [21]
By the pythagorean theorem the diagonal length will be:

d^2=x^2+y^2  and since this is a square x=y so

d^2=2x^2 and since d=15

225=2x^2

x^2=112.5

x=√112.5 yds

x≈10.6 yds  (to nearest tenth of a yard)

The plane flies 725 miles per hour. how many minutes will it take to fly 150 miles
ioda

Answer:

12.41 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that a plane can fly 725 miles per hour.

So, the plane goes 725 miles in 1 hour i.e. 60 minutes.

Now, we have to find the time the plane takes to fly 150 miles.

As the plane is flying at a constant rate, so we can use the unitary method to get the required time.

Therefore, the plane will take \frac{60 \times 150}{725} = 12.41 minutes to fly 150 miles. (Answer)
