The value of the question mark in the function machine -2 ⇒ *? -3 ⇒ -18 is x = -3

How to determine the value of the question mark

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

-2 ⇒ *? -3 ⇒ -18

Represent the question mark with a variable

So, we have

-2 ⇒ *x -3 ⇒ -18

This implies that

-2 * x * -3 = -18

So, we have

6x = -18

Divide both sides by 6

x = -3

Hence. the value of the question mark is x = -3
