Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 6 29 7 42
6) a number x increased by -18
x + (-18)
or x - 18
7) x subtracted from its reciprocal
1/x - x
8) two numbers have the sum of 11, one number is q find the other
x + q = 11
x + q - q = 11 - q q - q = 0
x + 0 = 11 - q
x = 11 - q
9) six is added to 4 times a number equals 42, find the number
( I don't know the six steps discussed in class. This is how I would do it)
6 + 4x = 42
6 - 6 + 4x = 42 - 6 isolate the variable, - 6 from both sides
0 + 4x = 36 6 - 6 = 0, 43 - 6 = 36, solve for x
4x/4 = 36/4 divide both sides by 4
1x = 36 /4 4/4 = 1
x = 9
