S= 15
3s=45
3s/3=45/3
S=15

Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the table, the left and the right side have a pattern. When 3 is added to the left side, the right side is multiplied by 6. Since 12 multiplied by 6 is 72, the missing number is 72.
Remark
Set up the equation from the word problem.
Equation
7*x - x = -48 Combine like terms
6x = - 48 Divide by 6
x = - 48 / 6
x = - 8 <<<<< Answer
