Question

Right and solve an equation to find the number N

Six times the sum of a number and 15 is -42

Answer 1

N=-22

Explanation:

We first highlight all the information that is important and make an equation based on that. From that, we get 6(N+15)=-42. From there, we divide both sides by 6 to get N+15=-7. We subtract 15 from both sides to get N =-22, which is our answer.
