Answer:
<em>The number is -6.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the unknown number
"the sum of a number and four" = n + 4
"Six times the sum of a number and four" = 6(n + 4)
"Six times the sum of a number and four is -12." is the equation
6(n + 4) = -12
Divide both sides by 6.
n + 4 = -2
Subtract 4 from both sides.
n = -6
Answer:
$6.47 for each shirt
Step-by-step explanation:
If s is the cost of a shirt, then the cost of 5 shirts is ...
5s = $32.35
s = $32.35/5 = $6.47 . . . . . divide both sides of the equation by 5
The cost of each shirt was $6.47.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The equation formalizes the math for you, perhaps helping you see that division by 5 is required.
To find cost per shirt, divide cost by shirts. "Per" can often be thought of as meaning "divided by."
