the product of -6 and the quantity 8 more than a number n is 18

Answer 1

the product of -6 and the quantity 8 more than a number n is 18

The product of two numbers is the result of multiplying two number together. So for A X B = C, C would be the product.

-------

-6 (n+8) = 18.....translate the words from the problem into an equation.....is (means equals)

-6n - 48 = 18.....add 48 to both sides...

-6n = 66..........divide both sides by -6..

n = -11.......check......-6 (-11 + 8) = 18 .....(-6)(-3) = 18....that checks....
