Question

There is a number that if you subtract 9 from it first, and then divide that total by 6, you get 7. What's the number?​

Answer 1

51

Explanation:

Create an equation.

`((x-9))/(6) = 7`

Multiply 6 to both sides.

x-9 = 42

Add 9 to both sides.

x=51

To check if this is correct follow the steps given in the question.

51-9=42

42÷6=7

It is correct.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

51

Explanation:

Translate the problem into an equation and solve the equation.

(x - 9)/6 = 7

x - 9 = 42

x = 51

Answer: 51
