So let me give you the answer with procedure so that you can understand it better: Let x = Number
<span>Product of 9 and Number:</span> <span>9x </span> <span>is 12 less than 3 times that number. So: </span> <span>3x - 12 </span> <span>Set them equal and solve for x like this:</span> <span>9x = 3x - 12 </span> <span>6x = -12 </span> <span>x = -2 </span>I hope this is very useful for you
