Hilda adds 5 to a number, then multiplies the sum by -2. The result is 6. Write an equation to find the number, x. What is the number?

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

If we add 5 to -8, that will be -3. Then if we multiply -3 with -2, it equals 6 because when two negatives multiply with one another the answer will be positive.

So in conclusion, the number is -8.

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
