To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.
First, let's establish a variable to represent the unknown number. Let's call it "x."
According to the information given, if you multiply "x" by 6 and then subtract 11 from the result, it equals 73. We can write this as an equation:
6x - 11 = 73
To solve for "x," we can isolate it on one side of the equation. Here's how:
1. Add 11 to both sides of the equation to remove the negative 11:
6x - 11 + 11 = 73 + 11
6x = 84
2. Divide both sides by 6 to solve for "x":
6x / 6 = 84 / 6
x = 14
Therefore, your unknown number, represented by "x," is 14.
