Question :
what integer divided by six, less eighteen, is negative twenty-two
Answer :
First we create a solution based on questions :
eg. integer is = a

so that :

(a)/(6) - 18 = -22


(a)/(6) = -22 + 18


(a)/(6) = -4


a = 6 * (- 4)


a = -24

so these integers is : - 24

You said that

X/6 -18 = -22

Add 18 to each side :

X/6 = -4

Multiply each side by 6 :

X = -24

Tough one !
