In the equation 9 more than 3 times a number is -6, what does a number equal

8 0

So 9 more than 3 times a number, would be:
9+(3x)=-6
then you would solve
subtract 9 from 9 and 9 from -6
you get 3x=-15
divide by 3 on both sides
x=-5

2. Harold needs at least a 91

Work:

first, you multiply both sides by 2; 77+x=168

then you plug it back in to check; (77+91)/2=84 ; 168/2=84 ; 84=84
