Answer: n + 12 = -18 or n + 12= -3(6)

Explanation:

12 more than a number means 12 is added to the number so the expression will be n + 12 and the product of -3 and 6 is the same as -3 times 6 which is -18 . n + 12 has to equal -18 .

n + 12 = -18 now subtract 12 from both sides

-12 -12

n= -30

So the number is -30
