Answer (3)

Question : what integer divided by six, less eighteen, is negative twenty-two Answer : First we create a solution based on questions : eg. integer is = a
so that : 6 a ​ − 18 = − 22
6 a ​ = − 22 + 18
6 a ​ = − 4
a = 6 × ( − 4 )
a = − 24
so these integers is : - 24

You said that
X/6 -18 = -22
Add 18 to each side :
X/6 = -4
Multiply each side by 6 :
X = -24
Tough one !
