Set up a proportion
3/7/12 = 1/x
3/7x = 12
x = 28
28 - 12 = 16
16 are left
Expand: 4x+8-3x+6
simplify: x+14
6 less than the product of 7 and this number is 85.
6 less than (the product of (7 and this number)) is 85.
6 less than (the product of 7 and x) = 85
6 less than (7 * x) = 85
(7 * x) - 6 = 85
Now you solve! Make sure that whatever you do to one side you also do to the other:
7x - 6 = 85
7x - 6 + 6 = 85 + 6
7x = 91
7x /7 = 91 /7
x = 13
Hope this helps! :)
