Question

The difference of 22 and a number is -8 A.14 B.30 C.-30 D.-14

Answer 1

Answer:

B.30

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference is subtracting so we have

y-x=-8

We know one is 22 so we replace y with 22:

22-x=-8

Now all we need to do is solve:

Subtract 22 on both sides:

-22+22-x=-8-22

-x=-30

Divide by - or -1 on both sides:

-x/-1=-30/-1

x=30

So the "number" is 30

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 30
