Answer 2

Answer:

The number is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 6 less than 4 times a number is  -18.

Let the number be $x$.

4 times the number $x$ can be written as $4x$.

6 less than 4 times the number $x$ can be written as $4x-6$.

Given the result of 6 less than 4 times the number $x$ $= -18$

Writing the whole statement in equation form, we get

$4x-6=-18$

Adding 6 on both sides,

$4x-6+6=-18+6$

$\implies 4x=-12$

Dividing both sides by 4,

$\dfrac{4}{4} x=-\dfrac{12}{4}$

$\implies x=-3$

Therefore, the value of the number is -3.
