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

Answer:

1) x = -1 or x = -10 (either of them are both correct)

2) x = 3 or x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x2 + 11x + 10 =0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

(x + 1)(x + 10) = 0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.

x + 1 = 0 or x +10 = 0

x = −1 or x = −10

Answer:

x = −1 or x = −10

2x^2 + 4x − 30 = 0

Answer:

x = 3 or x = −5

Answer:

The coordinates of the image trapezoid are

A"(-4,5), B''(-1,5), C''(0,3), D''(-5,3)

The pre-image was first reflected in the line y=x, so the mapping will be

The resulting coordinates were then translated 4 units right;

For A''(-4,5), y+4=-4 and x=5

This means y=-8, x=5

Hence A(5,-8)

For B''(-1,5), y+4=-1, and x=5.

This means y=-5 and x=5

B(5,-5)

For C''(0,3), C(3,-4)

For D''(-5,3), D(3,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 14 x = 2y - 12 Which point satisfies both equations?
Neporo4naja [7]
X = 2y - 12....so sub 2y - 12 in for x in the other equation

3x + 4y = 14
3(2y - 12) + 4y = 14
6y - 36 + 4y = 14
6y + 4y = 14 + 36
10y = 50
y = 50/10
y = 5

x = 2y - 12
x = 2(5) - 12
x = 10 - 12
x = -2

solution is (-2,5) <==

A mother earned ​$8750 from royalties on her cookbook. She set aside​ 20% of this for a down payment on a new home. The balance
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement is not clear regarding which money is invested. We will assume it is the 80% of $8750 that is set aside for future education. That amount is

... 0.80 × $8750 = $7000

If x represents the amount invested at 7%, then the total interest earned is

... (7000 -x)×4% + (x)×7% = 420

... 280 +0.03x = 420

... x = 140/0.03 ≈ 4666.67

$4666.67 was invested at 7%.

$2333.33 was invested at 4%.
