Question

Write an equation and solve
3 times a number is 6 less
than the number

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = x - 6

2x = -6

x=-3

Answer 2

Answer:

n = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Symbolically, 3n = n - 6.

Subtracting n from both sides, to yield 2n, results in 2n = -6.

Dividing both sides by 2 yields the final solution:  n = -3
