Answer:

Product of 6 and a number would be 6
x\\.

Nine more than a number?
x/2 +9

Combine a number and 7? Either 7x or x + 7.

Explanation:

Question 1 is relatively simple. 6 is a constant, so it can be inserted into any equation and maintain the same value. "A number" could represent anything, so we'll represent it with a variable. This gives you 6x (also 6*x)

Question 2 is the same as the first with 1 more step added to it. A number, as previously stated, is represented by the variable x. You divide this by the constant value of 2 to give you
(x)/(2). Nine more would add +9 to the expression. Your final answer would be
(x)/(2) + 9.

Question 3. Combine is a bit vague, but it could be either addition or multiplication. This could give you either
7x or
7+x.

Hope it was helpful.
