Depending on what the number is in for the bag
When the number is positive, its opposite is less than the number.
9 ==> -9 . . . . . . less
72 ==> -72 . . . . less
324 ==> -324 . . less
When the number is negative, its opposite is greater than the number.
-8 ==> 8 . . . . . . greater
-3/4 ==> 3/4 . . . greater
-429 ==> 429 . . greater .
We've seen that the opposite can be less, and it can also be greater.
I guess that means that it's sometimes greater.
6( x - 4) = 7
6 x - 24 = 7
6 x = 7 + 24
6 x = 31
x = 31/6
6 ( 31/6 - 4) = 7
186/6 - 24 = 7
186/6 = 144/6 = 7
42/6 = 7
7 = 7
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 2 + 70 + 60 = 180
8x + 132 = 180
8x = 48
