Write the verbal sentence as an equation.
a) fourteen minus the product of 3 and a number is 26.

14 - 3n = 26

Step-by-step explanation: We first start with the number 14 and then put a minus sign next to that. Next, remember that "product" means multiply so we have 3 multiplied by some number. Since we don't know the number, we can use any variable to represent it but in this case, I will use "n" as the variable. Lastly, "is 12" means equals 12.

Finally, we can put this all together.

the answer is b 1/10

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
