Let x be the number.
Then;
6x-18=-42 (solve for x now)
6x=-42+18
6x=-24
x=-4
Therefore, this number would be -4.
Hope I helped :)

Step-by-step explanation:
hello :
x ÷ y for x = 8 and y = 16 means : 8/16 = 8/(2×8) = 1/2
Answer:
4x -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question answers itself: you use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.
4(x -3) = 4(x) +4(-3) = 4x -12
Answer:
x = -3 and x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
After writing down the polynomial, split it; put a line between 3x^2 and -18x. Look and 2x^3 + 3x^2 and -18x - 27 separately and factor them both:
p(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 <u>- 18x -27</u>
p(x) = x^2(2x+3) <u>-9(2x+3)</u>
Now notice how x^2 and -9 have the same factor (2x+3). That means x^2 and -9 can go together:
p(x) = (x^2 - 9)(2x+3)
Factor it once more because there's a difference of squares:
p(x) = (x+3)(x-3)(2x+3)
Now just plug in whatever makes the each bracket equal 0:
x = -3, x = 3, and x = -3/2
Those are your zeros.
