Answer 1

Answer is your number is 35

Step by step

Your number is n
Subtract 19 from your number
= n - 19
Multiply the difference by -6
= -6(n - 19)
The result is -96
So your equation is

-6( n - 19) = -96
divide both sides by -6 to isolate n

-6/-6 (n - 19) = -96 / -6

n - 19 = 16

Add 19 to both sides to solve for n

n - 19 + 19 = 16 + 19
Simplify

n = 35

Your number is 35

Check your work

Your equation is -6( n - 19) = -96
Sub in 35 for n

-6( 35 - 19) = -96
Divide both sides by -6

35 - 19 = 16

16 = 16

It equals so your solution is correct!
