Question

Translate the sentence into an equation.

Nine more than the product of a number and 6 is equal to 4.
Use the variable x for the unknown number.

Answer 1

(6x) + 9 = 4

Explanation:

Times means 'The answer when you multiply' So we are working in multiplication. ( x )

6x is the multiplication.

It says 'more than' which means adding to our answer. So we add 9. So far our equation is: (6x) + 9 (Brackets are needed as we are multiplying 6 by x and not multiplying 6 by x+9)

Lastly, it says the answer must be 4 so we add that at the end. So the answer is:

(6x) + 9 = 4
