Question

Two more than 4 times a number is -18

Answer 1

Answer: 4n + 2 = -18    and  n= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

4 times a number  is the same as the expression, 4n  where n is the number   and two more than that is 4n + 2.   If it is  -18, then it means it is equal to -18.

4n + 2 = -18   You can solve for a by subtracting -2 from both sides

    -2       -2

4n  = -20    Divide both sides by 4.

n = -5
