Nine more than the product of a number 6 and equals 2.

Answer 1

Hello, Nahome,

Put the words into numbers:

". . . the product of a number and 6 . . ." can be written as 6X, where X is the number we seek.

"Nine more . . ." means add nine to the above operation: 6X + 9

"Equals 2" is easy: = 2

Put these together to get:

6X+9 = 2

Rearrange:

6X = -7

X = -7/6

Check the answer:

6*(-7/6) + 9 = ? (hopefully = 2)

-42/6 + 54/6 = 12/6 = 2 {It works.]

I hope this helps,

Bob
