Question

"11 less than three times a number is the same as 75 less than the product of -1 and the number"

Answer 1

x=-16

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

11 less than three times a number would be represented as 3x - 11.

75 less than the product of -1 and the number would be represented as -x - 75

Those two expressions are the same.

3x - 11 = -x - 75

3x = -x - 64

4x = -64

x = -16

Hope this helps!! :)
