Question

Peter says, "If you subtract 13 from my number and multiply the difference by -3, the result is

- 69." What is Peter's number?

Answer 1

Peter's number is 36.

Explanation:

If you subtratct 13 from 36, you get 23.

If you multiply that times -3, you get -69.

(The way I got 23 was by dividing -69 and -3)
