Answer:

x = - 15

Explanation:

Givens

The trick is to let the letters = points of a clock that keeps time this way.

l = 9 oclock

C = 3 oclock

-H= -8

Formula

(x - l) / C = -H

Solution

Substitute the givens into the equation

(x - 9) / 3 = -8 Multiply both sides of the equation by 3

3*(x - 9)/3 = -8*3 Simplify

(x - 9) = - 24 Remove the brackets

x - 9 = - 24 Add 9 to both sides.

x-9+9 = -24+9 Combine

x = - 15
