Question

Peter says,

"If you subtract 18 from my number and multiply the difference by -6, the result is -84."

What is Peter's number?

I already made the equation, I just am struggling solving it

-6(x-18)=-84

Answer 1

x = 32

Explanation:

-6(x-18) = -84

Divide both sides by -6

x - 18 = 14

Add 18 to both sides

x = 32
