The correct answer is 4 :-)
Hmm if I'm not mistaken, is just an "ordinary" annuity, thus

Answer:
-10b - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
-11b - 4
- (-b + 3)
-----------------
-10b - 7
The number is 28.
The equation would be:
237 + 6(x) = 405
The problem states that 6 times the opposite of a number, however, since the number sign was not given, we do not know whether it is in a positive or negative form. So we leave it as only x.
237 + 6x = 405
6x = 405 - 237
6x = 168
6x / 6 = 168 / 6
x = 28
To check:
237 + 6 (28) = 405
237 + 168 = 405
405 = 405
You multiply the denominator on one side of the equation by the numerator and vice versa. So for example(S)I'm going to multiply 4 by nine and 3 times n. Then that comes out to 3n=36. After you multiply, you divide from both sides to get the variable by itself. So you would divide both sides by 3 and you're final answer would be n=13. Hope this helped!
