First, figure out what you do and don't know....
You do know that 3 times the sum of a number and 4 is 18 more than the number....you don't know the number so you make it the variable x
now take 3 times the sum of a number and 4 and make that an expression 3x+4 this expression is the same or equal to the sum of x and 18 x+18
3x+4=x+18
2x+4=18
2x=14
x=7
hope this helped :)
Any context to this question?
Answer:
r = -3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
-0.6(r+0.2) = 1.8
Divide by -.6
-0.6/-.6(r+0.2) = 1.8/-.6
r+.2 = -3
Subtract .2 from each side
r+.2-.2 = -3-.2
r = -3.2
Your number is 0, 4x6=24 and six less than six is 0
