Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The algebraic expression of the phrase"The product of 6 and the quantity 9 more then the number x is 253" is equal to the number 6 multiplied by the sum of x and 9 and this result is equal to 253

solve for x




81.56+n-2.55=0
81.56+n=2.55
n=2.55-81.56
n=-79.01
