The answer to your question is 36

-18 + x(-6)

Substitute x with -9

-18 + (-9) (-6)

Then you get 36

Hey there!

-18 + x(-6)

= -18 + (-9)(-6)

= -18 - 9(-6)

= -18 - (-54)

= -18 + 54
= 36


Therefore, your answer is: 36


REMEMBER!
• Negative & negative = positive

• Positive & positive = positive

• Negative & positive = negative

• Positive & negative = negative

• Negatives are smaller than 0

• Positives are bigger than 0

• Negatives are to the LEFT of 0

• Positives are to the RIGHT of 0


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
