Question

Write the sentence as an​ equation, using x as the variable. Then find the solution of the equation from the set of integers between minus12 and​ 12, inclusive. The quotient of a number and 4 is negative 1.

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution of given equation is x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the variable such that

$x \in (-12,12)$

Relation:

The quotient of a number and 4 is negative 1

We can write the equation as:

$\dfrac{x}{4} = -1$

Solution:

$\dfrac{x}{4} = -1\\\\\Rightarrow x = 4\times -1\\\Rightarrow x = -4$

Thus, the solution of given equation is x = -4
