Answer 1

Answer:

This is a very simple question of linear equation. Below is the answer and please make my answer the brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'y'

Then, $\frac{-1}{3}$ × y = $\frac{-21}{6}$

        y = $\frac{-21}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{-1}{3}$

        y = $\frac{-21}{6}$ × $\frac{3}{-1}$

        y = $\frac{21}{2}$ or 10.5

Therefore the answer is 10.5  ....
