Sagot :

Answer:

6 × (11 - x) = -72 => x = 23

or

6 × (x - 11) = -72 => x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

there are at least two possibilities, as the "difference between two numbers a and b can be excised as either a-b or b-a.

in any case, just following the sentence

Six times = 6 ×

difference of 11 and a number = 11 - x

is -72 = -72

so,

6 × (11 - x) = -72

and that is true for x = 23

but

the other direction is possible too

6 × (x - 11) = -72

and that is true for x = -1
