Question

Sixteen fewer than twice a number.

The quotient of a number and 3 is 6.

Solve the equation.

6x -1 = -13

Answer 1

1.)2x-16

2.)x/3

3.)6x-1=-13
+1 +1
6x =-12=12/6=2

Answer 2

lol. Ok.

Sixteen fewer than twice a number: 2x-16

Quotient of a number and 3 is 6: X/3 = 6

Solve the equation:

6x=12

x=12/6= 2 <-- Answer

Answer 3

"a number" => x write an x below sentence cross out the words "a number"

"twice" => 2* so write a 2 to left of x and cross out "twice"

fewer than implis subtraction for which two thing are to be subtracted the two things are "sixteen" and "twice a number" since sixteen precedes the word "than" write a minus sign to right of 2x and a 16 to the right of this to get
2x-16 and no more words to cross out

quotient implies 2 things and a / sign they are "a number" and "three" a number is x "and" tells you to write the / sign after the x and then write a 3 after that "is" means = so write this to the right of 3 and then a 6 to the right of that to give
x/3=6

read sentence carefully the terms usually appear in the order required in the math phrase


add 1 to both sides to get
6x=-12
6 is attached to x by mult. so unattach by division thus divide both sides by 6 to get
x=-12/6 => x=-2

fewer than implies subtaction and

Answer 4

Just remember that when you see the word "than" between two terms, you must reverse the order of the two terms. So sixteen fewer than twice a number is writtei in the order twice a number minus 16.

Answer 5

2x - 16

(x/3) = 6

6x - 1 = -13
6x = -12
x = -2

Answer 6

2x-16
x/3 = 6

6x - 1 = -13
6x = -12
x = -2
