The difference of six times a number and 7 is -49

Answer 1

So it would be 6 times a number n and then subtracting 7 = -49

therefore you have the equation

6(n)-7=-49

or

6n-7=-49

if you want to solve for n, you need to add 7 on both sides of the equation

6n-7=-49

+7 +7

therefore you have 6n=-42

and dividing by 6 on both sides gives you n=-7.

so the answer is n=-7
