x - 4 = -12
I think x = -8 as if you decrease -8 by 4 it will leave us with the answer of -12
x = -8
Hope this helped,

Lilly should re-estimate the original numbers to be smaller.
for example if she rounded to 10 and 20, she should go back and check and re-round to maybe 8 and 10
Answer:
4(x - 1) = 6(x + 3)
x = -11
Step-by-step explanation:
x represents “the number” so we would substitute this with a variable.
(I hope this helps! Have a great day AND STAN BTS)
Let the number of raspberry bushes in one garden = x
And the number of raspberry bushes in second garden = y
Garden one has 5 times as many raspberry bushes as second garden,
So the equation will be,
x = 5y -------(1)
If 22 bushes were transplanted from garden one to the second, number of bushes in both the garden becomes same,
Therefore, (x - 22) = (y + 22)
x - y = 22 + 22
x - y = 44 ------(2)
Substitute the value of x from equation (1) to equation (2)
5y - y = 44
4y = 44
y = 11
Substitute the value of 'y' in equation (1),
x = 5(11)
x = 55
Therefore, Number of bushes in garden one were 55 and in second garden 11 originally.
