There’s an app that can solve this easily called photo math it’s what I used But x= 3
Answer:
the number is -11
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be written as x
so 3-4x=47
collect like terms
-4x=47-3
-4x=44
divide both sides by -4
-4x/-4=44/-4
x=-11
Steve ran 11 miles
let the distance Steve ran be x
Then distance Kevin ran is x + 4 ( 4 miles more than Steve )
x + x + 4 = 26 ( the sum of their distance is 26 )
2x + 4 = 26 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2x = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 11
Steve ran 11 mies and Kevin ran 11 + 4 = 15 miles
check 11 + 15 = 26
