Set up the equation and solve for x:
2/3(x) - 6 = -10 (next add 6 to each side to separate knowns from unknowns)
2/3(x) = -4 (next multiply both sides by 3 to simplify)
2x = -12 (next divide both sides by 2 to solve for x)
x = -6
to prove: substitute x with -6 (hint: 2/3 of -6 = -4)
2/3(-6) - 6 = -10
-4 - 6 = -10
-10 = -10
A negative number is less than its absolute value.

any negative number is less than zero
If the decimal is positive, than a negative number is less than 0.
fourteen less than three fourths of a number is negative eight find the number
yes, the smaller the negative number the bigger it actually is
Negative two thirds is smaller than negative one sixth. To have more of a negative is to have less.
To express "two thirds of a number is no more than negative ten" mathematically, you can use the variable ( x ) to represent the number. The inequality would be written as ( \frac{2}{3}x \leq -10 ). This indicates that when you take two thirds of ( x ), the result must be less than or equal to negative ten.
A negative number is less than a positive number. Think about it this way: a negative number is less than 0. A positive number is greater than 0. Therefore, a negative number must be less than a positive number.
A negative number is less than zero.
A negative number is less than zero.
No!Negative ten thirds is -3.33. So we are comparing between -3.33 and -3. On the number line, -3 is to the right hand side of -3.33. And as always, on the number line, a number on the right is ALWAYS greater than ANY number which is on its left.
That's a negative number.
A negative number is less than its absolute value.
Yes because a negative number is always less than a positive number
Yes. A negative number is less than a positive.
