You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x = the number
\n" ); document.write( "the product of a number and -6 would be equal to -6*x
\n" ); document.write( "12 less than that would be equal to -6*x - 12
\n" ); document.write( "that's your answer.
\n" ); document.write( "if we let x = 5, then -6*x - 12 becomes -6*5 - 12 becomes -30 - 12 becomes - 42.
\n" ); document.write( "the number is 5.
\n" ); document.write( "the product of the number and -6 is equal to -6 * 5 = -30
\n" ); document.write( "12 less than -30 is equal to -42.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
