I am thinking of a number if you multiply my number by 4 add -4 to the product and then take one third of the sum the result is -6 find my number

Respuesta :

The situation can be rewritten as:

[tex] \frac{(4x) - 4}{3} = - 6[/tex]

We can simplify this by multiplying 3 (denominator) to both sides of the equation, which simplifies to:

[tex](4x) - 4 = - 18[/tex]

The negative 4 cancels out by adding 4 to both sides, resulting in:

[tex] (4x) = - 12[/tex]

To get x alone, we divide both sides by 4.

[tex]x = - 3[/tex]
