After a certain number is diminished by 6, the amount remaining is multiplied by 6 the result is the same as the number is diminished by 3 and the amount remaining is multiplied by 3.
\n" ); document.write( " What is the number?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "6(x - 6) = 3(x - 3)
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 36 = 3x - 9
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 3x = -9 + 36
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 27
\n" ); document.write( "x = 27/3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "you can check this in the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "6(9 - 6) = 3(9 - 3) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
