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:

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

"6 less than":  is -6, so we have:

X*(3) - 6

<u>"is -18" </u>  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

Ad libitum [116K]
Hey there Willialili!

Fraction Question::

We first have to divide the number ($40) from the denominator of our fraction (5) - This would be 8! {40 / 5}

We then multiply this with our numerator which is 3! {8 x 3}

This gives us 24!

**Answer: 40$

Hope this helped :)

Let p=x^2+6

That's a bit of a nasty. Where ever you see (x^2 + 6) you put in p.
p^2  - 21 = 4(x^2 + 6)
p^2 - 21 = 4p
p^2 - 4p - 21 = 0

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The answer is: there is 89.2% of the dog food remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 31 1/4 lbs of dog food.

In one week - 3 1/8 lbs was used.

To find the amount left, subtract:

31 1/4 - 3  1/8 =

30 5/4 - 3 1/8 =

30 10/8 - 3/8 =

27 7/8 remaining.

To find the percent left, divide:

27 7/8 / 31 1/4 =

27.875 / 31.25 = .892.

Multiply by 100 to get percent:

.892 * 100 = 89.2% remaining.

Hope this helps!! Have an Awesome day!!! :-)
