Answer:

The Number is -5

Explanation:

We will form the Equation and solve for the Number

Let the Number be x

Product of 30 and a Number = 30x

75 less than the Product of 30 and a Number = 30x - 75

75 less than the Product of 30 and a Number is -225

Then 30x - 75 = -225

Now solve for x (the Number)

add 75 for both sides

30x = -225 + 75 = -150

Divide both sides by 30

x = -150 / 30 = -5

Glad to Help
