Question

Write an equation to represent each relationship. Then solve the equation. Six times a number plus 4 is the same as the number minus 11. A. 6 + 4 = n - 11; n = 21 B. 4n - 6 = 11n; n = 6/7 C. 6n = 4 + 11; n = 5/2 D. 6n + 4 = n - 11 n = -3

Answer 1

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be n

We are to write the expression as equation;

Six times a number plus 4 is the same as the number minus 11.

Six times a number is given as;

6n

Six times a number plus 4 is expressed as 6n+4

The unknown number minus 11 will be expressed as n-11

Finally If Six times a number plus 4 is the same as the number minus 11, them!

6n+4 = n-11

Next is to calculate n;

Collect like terms;

6n-n = -11-4

5n =-15

Divide through by5

5n/5 = -15/5

n = -3

Hence the vale n is -3
