Question

1. The product of 3 and a number increased by six is 24.

Answer 1

1. Equation: 3x + 6 = 24
2. Solved: x = 6

Explanation:

Let x be the number

1. Write it out: 3x + 6 = 24
2. Subtract 6 from each side, so it now looks like this: 3x = 18
3. Divide each side by 3 to cancel out the 3 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 6

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Y= -14

Explanation:

3 X ( y + 6 ) = - 24

y + 6 = - 8

y = - 14
