Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x.
Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;
Opening the bracket, we have;
Collecting like terms, we have;
-9 should be the answer <span />
sorry if I'm wrong. I got confused because you put 56+3 twice.×= 63
56+3=59=x-4 (this is with subtraction sign)
I didnt know if that a subtracting or negative so here both
56+3=x-4 (this is with the negative sign)
x= -14.75
All you have to do is move the denominator on the other side, by multiplying.
a-10
------- = -9
20
multiply 20 x -9
= -180
then it becomes a-10=-180
+10 +10
a=-170
