Question

Six times the difference of a number and three is equal to three less than the number.

Answer 1

x=3

Explanation:

lets take x as the number

so

6(x-3)=x-3

since it says "6 times" we know that we will have to multiply the difference by 6 and it says the difference of a number and 3 is equal to 3 less than the number so we know that we are subtracting 3 from x

6x-18=x-3

6x-x=18-3

5x=15

x=3
