When four times a number is decreased by 7, the result is 1. What is the number?

Mathematics

Shalnov [3]3 years ago

Answer: The number is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

create the formula from the problem

4x -7 = 1

move the seven to the other side by adding seven to both sides

4x (+7) -7 = 1 (+7)

4x = 8

then to get the x by itself, divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 8/4

x = 2

You can check your work by plugging the x back into the original problem

4 (2) -7 = 1

8 -7 = 1

1 = 1  (this means it is correct)

Answer:

Pontiac's Rebellion, which came closely on the heels of the French and Indian War, made the British seek more peaceful relations with Native Americans in the Ohio Valley. They issued the Proclamation of 1763, which prohibited colonists from settling in the region, as a way to avoid further conflict.
