Question

Write an equation for:
I if you take away 6 from 6 time a number you get 60

Answer 1

Given:

• Word statement ---> If you take away 6 from 6 times a number, you get 60.

Required equation:

Let the number be 'x'.

So,

6x-6 = 60

Now, let's solve the equation to find the number!

Solution:

6x-6 = 60

6x = 60+6

6x = 66

x = $\sf \dfrac {66}{6}$

$\dag {\boxed {\bf {\blue {x = 11}}}}$

Verification:

Substitute the value of 'x' as 11 in the equation,

6x-6 = 60

6×11-6 = 60

66-6 = 60

60 = 60

LHS = RHS

Hence Verified!

Final answers:

• Equation formed is: 6x-6 = 60
• The number is 11.
