Question

Six times the difference of a number and three is -42 (write and equation and solve)

Answer 1

Hello!

6(3-x)=-42

Use the Distributive Property:

18-6x=-42

-6x=-42-18 (move all the constants (numbers) to the right side, using the opposite operation)

-6x=-60

6x=60

Divide both sides by 6:

x=10

Hope it helps!
