Six more than nine times a number is 456

6+9x=456

Six more, so you're adding, then 9 multiplied by a number, they didn't give a number so that number that wasn't given would be represented by a variable, 9x, is 456, which means it equals 456.

So, 6 + 9x = 456.

1.5 pounds because you put 9over 6 and then divide by 6
