Answer:X= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

6 less than the product of a number and 3 is -18.

Make each part of the sentence into numbers:

"the product of a number and 3": becomes X*(3), where X is the "number."

"6 less than": is -6, so we have:

X*(3) - 6

"is -18" means = -18

Put the segments into one equation and solve:

X*(3) - 6 = -18

3X-6=-18

3X = -12

X = -4

====

See if this works: If X=-4, then the product of it and 3 is -12. Six less than -12 is -18. And that is correct. X= -4

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Price assuming he bought all large flags: $20*8=160$

Amount of money more: $160-112=48$

Difference of price in both flags: $20-12=8$

Medium Flags: $48\div8=6$

Large Flags: $8-6=2$

----------------------------------

The reason why this works, is because the amount of money more comes from the difference between both flags.

5a - 9 + a = 9

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify 5a - 9 + a to 6a - 9.

$6a - 9 = 9$

2) Add 9 to both sides.

$6a = 9 + 9$

3) Simplify 9 + 9 to 18.

$6a = 18$

4) Divide both sides by 6.

$a = \frac{18}{6}$

5) Simplify 18/6 to 3.

$a = 3$

Therefor, the answer is, a = 3.
