Question

12 less than the product of a number and -6 = -6(x-12)? am i right?
and to simplify is it x - 72? or am i wrong?

Answer 1

if i am reading your answer correctly:
"the product of a number" comes first, and then you subtract 12 from that, so
-6x - 12
if you really want to simplify it further, you could say -6 (x + 2)

Answer 2

how did you get 2? O:

Answer 3

i divided -12 by -6

Answer 4

you dont need to multiply them???

Answer 5

you mean, because it says "product"? no- i did that when i wrote "-6x".. that's the product of -6 and x

Answer 6

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
