Question

A number multiplied by 4 is -20

Answer 1

-5 would be the answer. 4 times -5 would equal -20 because 4 times 5 equals 20 and a positive number times a negative number equals a negative number. (opposite signs equal negative, same signs equal positive)

Answer 2

4x = -20

divide by 4 on both sides (4/4 cancels itself out) (-20 / 4 = -5)

x = -5

4 (-5) = -20

-20 = -20

The answer is -5
