number is x
three times a number is 3x
five times this, or 5(3x) is the product of 5 and three times a number
'is' means here an equals sign
So far we have
5(3x) =
six less means to subtract 6 and nine times the number is 9x, so the equation is
5(3x) = - 6 + 9x
The product of 5 and three times a number is six less than 9 times the same number
15x = - 6 + 9x
Subtract 9x from both sides
6x = -6
Divide both sides by 6
x = - 1

Let the number be x.
Three times the number will be 3x.
Nine times the number will be 9x.
The product of 5 and three times a number is
5.3x.
Six less that nine times the number is 9x-6.
Now, the product of 5 and three times a number is (equal) to six less that nine times the same number. So,
5.3x = 9x-6
6x=-6
x=-1
So number is -1.

"The product of 5 and three times a number "
5 * 3x
"is six less that nine times the same number"
= 9x - 6
So:
5 * 3x = 9x - 6
15x = 9x - 6
6x = -6
x = -1

enable the variety be x. thrice the variety would be 3x. 9 cases the variety would be 9x. The made of 5 and thrice a variety is 5.3x. Six much less that 9 cases the variety is 9x-6. Now, the made of 5 and thrice a variety is (equivalent) to 6 much less that 9 cases the comparable variety. So, 5.3x = 9x-6 6x=-6 x=-a million So variety is -a million.

5 * 3x = 9x - 6 then solve for x,
x = -1

9x-6=5*3x
6x= - 6
x= -1
lol - shibby, you trying to fool us? we know you had 6 on the wrong side of the equation.

(5)(3)(x)=6-9[(5)(3)(x)]
that's the equation ..
now solve it for yourself..
you're so0o0o dependent if you ask me to solve that..
