Question

Two-thirds of a number is negative six. Find the number.

Answer 1

Let the unknown number be x . Given Two-thirds of a number is negative six.

Two third of the number x can be written as :$\frac{2}{3} x$

Given this equals -6.

$\frac{2}{3} x =- 6$

To solve for x we multiply by 3 both sides

2x=-18

Dividing both sides by 2 we have:

x=-9.

The unknown number is -9.

Answer 2

-9 would be your answer
