The answer is -8 I believe.

To put this into an equation, we get 7x-x=-48. This is equal to 6x=-48. When we divide we get -8.

Niko bought 4 stamps each week for 3 weeks. He wants to put 6 stamps on each page of his album. How many pages will niko use?

astraxan [27]

You multiply 4 by 3 because he got 4 stamps each week for 3 weeks. That leads to it being 12 stamps in total.
He wants 6 stamps out of 12 on each page of his album, so you divide 12 by 6 and get two.
He will use 2 pages.
The tools used were mathematical reasoning, multiplication and division.
