If we call the number x, we can write an equation to solve:
6(x - 4) = 12
6 × x = 6x
6 × -4 = -24
So you get 6x - 24 = 12
6x - 24 = 12
+ 24
6x = 12
÷ 6
x = 2
And your final answer is 2, I hope this helps!
The estimate should be 6.92
Answer: is that all the information in the problem??
Hey there!
To figure out what "x" means, you can divide the numbers 126 and 14 . . .
126 divided by 14 = 9
9 x 14 = 126
9 = x
----------------
x = 9
----------------
Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
Answer:
Don't know the exact equation but trying to explain
X is what the stuff that problem saying. Let's say you have books from library and you're returning them late you will pay $30 dollars for each of them
