Question

I am thinking of a number. If you multiply my number by four, add -4 to the product, and then take 1/3 of the sum, the result is -6. Find my number.

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = - \frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x=unknown number

$\frac{4x + ( - 4)}{3} = - 6$

$4x - 4 = - 18$

$4x = - 14$

$x = \frac{ - 14}{4}$

simplify the fraction so... -7/2
