Question

The product of twice a number and six is the same as the difference of eleven times the number and 7/6. find the number

Answer 1

2x X 6 = 11x - 7/6

12x = 11x - 7/6

12x - 11x = -7/6

x = - 7/6

Explanation:

let the unknown be x

twice of the number is 2x multipled by 6

2x(6) equating to eleven times the number 11x minus 7/6

gives an equation as in step 1

multiply 6 by 2x to give a more simple equation

collect like terms so you have an equation as in step 3
