Question 269576
let x = "a number"
:
Just write an equation for what it says:
The product of 6 and nine times a number is the same as the difference of ten times the number and 2.
:
6*(9x) = 10x - 2
54x = 10x - 2
54x - 10x = -2
44x = -2
x = {{{(-2)/44}}}
x = {{{-1/22}}} is the number
;
:
Check solution in original equation
6*9*{{{-1/22}}} = 10*{{{-1/22}}} - 2
{{{-54/22}}} = {{{-10/22}}} - {{{44/22}}}
