x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

"Six times the quantity, x-2, is 24" can be rewritten symbolically as

6(x - 2) = 24.  We are to solve this for x.

To do that, divide both sides of the above equation by 6, to isolate x - 2:

x - 2 = 4

Adding 2 to both sides isolates x:  x = 6

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
