1. The difference between three times a number and 11 is 10.

Question

Whould it be: 3x - 11 = 10?

2. One more than the difference between 18 and seven times a number is -9.

Would it be: 1 + 18 - 7x = -9?

3. 26 more than the product of a number and 17 is -42.

Would it be: 26 + x + 17 = -42?

4. Twelve less than the quotient of a number and 8 is -1.

Would it be: 12 - x/8 = -1?

Answer 2

4. 12 - a + 8 = 1?

Answer 3

4. Quotients are the answers to a division problem. Your first answer was on the right track, except that it didn't show 12 less than the quotient.

Answer 4

12 + x/8 = -1

Since you'll later turn the + into a -

OR

x/8 - 12 = -1?

Answer 5

This is correct:

x/8 - 12 = -1

Answer 6

Now how would you go by solving, x/8 - 12 = -1?

Answer 7

x/8 - 12 = -1

Multiply both sides of the equation by 8.

x - 96 = -8
x = 96 - 8
x = 88

Proof:
(88/8) - 12 = -1
11 - 12 = -1
