Answer 2

So...

\[9 \times x = 12<3x\]

Answer 3

9x=4x?

Answer 4

You just have to get the x on its own side and solve.

Answer 5

I remember.

Answer 6

My equation would be

9x-12=3x

Answer 7

Oh darn I got to go. Bye guys >.<

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

9x-12=3x

solve for x

Answer 12

x=-6

Answer 13

?

Answer 14

Uhh no.

9x-12=3x

isolating x gives you

6x=12

Answer 15

x=?

Answer 16

remember when i said x has to be x, not 6x, -x, etc?

Answer 17

? how

Answer 18

6x=12

if you want x to be alone, you'll divide everything by 6.

Answer 19

so x would =6

Answer 20

im pretty sure 12 divided by 6 is not 6 ;p

Answer 21

oh lol it would be 2

Answer 22

Yep. and you can even check

"The product of 9 and a number is 12 less than three times that number."

9 times 2=18
2 times =6

18 is 12 more than 6

Sorry I left so unexpectedly. Good job you guys, you did great. :D

Answer 34

You guys were on the right track I believe the answer is -2 because 9*(-2)=-18 and 3*(-2) is -6 and -6 is 12 less than -18. I took this test and I got a 100% using -2 as the answer. I am in the 7th grade too
