The number is 28.

The equation would be:

237 + 6(x) = 405

The problem states that 6 times the opposite of a number, however, since the number sign was not given, we do not know whether it is in a positive or negative form. So we leave it as only x.

237 +  6x = 405
6x = 405 - 237
6x = 168
6x / 6 = 168 / 6
x = 28

To check:

237 + 6 (28) = 405
237 + 168 = 405
405 = 405

The answer is -2193
the opposite of 405 is -405
now multiply -405*6= -2430
finally add 2430+237=-2193<span />

Lamar works as a tutor for $7 an hour and as a waiter for $8 an hour . this month he worked a combined total of 92 hours at his
ira [324]

t is the number of hours Lamar worked as a tutor 
We know that he worked for 92 hours total, so he worked 92-t hours as a waiter.

So his earnings are: 7t + 8(92-t) = 736 -t dollars

This expression seems logical as if Lamar worked 0 hours as a tutor and 92 as a waiter his earnings would be 8*92 = 736
If he worked as a tutor for 92 hours it would be 7*92= 644 
736-92= 644 
So our expression seems to be working.
