Question

Julio says,"If you subtract 15 from my number and multiply the difference by -7,the result is -175." What is Julios number

Answer 1

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume Julio's number is x.

The expression would be:

-7 * (x - 15) = -175

x - 15 = -175/-7

x = -175/-7 + 15

x = 40
