Do cross multiplication
<u>6</u> = <u>x</u>
18 12
Now cross multiply
(6)(12) = (18)(x)
72 = 18x
Divide both sides by 18
<u>72</u> = <u>18x</u>
18 18
4 = x

Consider number 17. You know that
17=9+8.
Then for negative numbers you have the same rule (with respect to sign -):
-17=(-9)+(-8).
Since (-9)+9=9+(-9)=9-9=0, you have that
-17+9=(-9)+(-8)+9=(-9+9)+(-8)=0+(-8)=-8.
Answer: -17=(-9)+(-8).
