Write an equation for what it says:
:
Nine more than the product of a certain number and two gives the same result as the quotient of the same number and three, decreased by six?
2x + 9 = - 6
2x = - 6 - 9
2x = - 15
get rid of the denominator, mult thru by3, results
3(2x) = x - 3(15)
6x - x = -45
5x = -45
x = -45/5
x = -9 is the number
:
:
Check solution in original equation
2(-9) + 9 = - 6
-18 + 9 = -3 - 6
