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

What is the mean, median and mode of the following data set? Please label each response.
irinina [24]

Answer:

Mean: 21

Median: 23

Mode: 27

Step-by-step explanation:

order from least to greatest:

1, 15, 18, 22, 23, 25, 27, 27, 31

mean: add all the numbers and divide by 9 bc thats how many numbers there are so that means the answer is

21

Median: to find the median you order the numbers from least to greatest and find out the middle number so in that case the median is 23

Mode: to find the mode you look to see what number is repeated multiple times, so the mode is 27

Which ordered pair represent a function
sweet [91]

Answer:

The first set of ordered pairs is a function, because no two ordered pairs have the same first coordinates with different second coordinates. The second example is not a function, because it contains the ordered pairs (1,2) and (1,5).

Hope this helps you with your question.

Find f(-3) if f(x) = x 2.
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

f(-3) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets define f(a) first where a is any integer,

f(a) is found out by putting the integer in the function in place of the variable

So for the given question

f(x) = x^{2}

In order to find f(-3) we will put -3 in place of x

So putting -3,

f(-3) = (-3)^{2}

f(-3) = 9

So, the value of function at -3 is 9 ..

klio [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the mean (or average) of a set of numbers by adding them together and dividing the sum by the amount of values there are.

In this case, there are 6 values.

The total sum of the six values is 487.

To receive the mean, divide 487 by 6.
