Seven more than the product of a number and four is negative seventeen. find the number.?

Question

someone please help me.

Answer 1

You just need to put this into the appropriate equation and solve:

4n + 7 = -17
==> subtract 7 from both sides
4n = -24
==> divide by 4 on both sides
n = -6

The number is -6.

Answer 2

such problems should be broken into mathematical statements like below:

Let the number be ' x '

product of the number as chosen above and 4 would be ' 4x '

seven more than the product of a number and four would be ' 4x + 7 '

hence final equation is

4x + 7 = -17

solving for 'x'

subtracting 7 from both sides , we have

4x + 7 - 7 = -17 -7

4x = -24 ( since + 7 - 7 = 0)

dividing both sides by 4 we have

4x / 4 = -24 / 4

x = - 6 (Solution)

Answer 3

Let the number be x.
Then:
4x + 7 = - 17
Subtract 7 from each side:
4x = -24
Divide by 4:
x = -6.

Answer 4

Let number be x
4x + 7 = - 17
4x = - 24
x = - 6

Answer 5

-6

solution:

(N*4) + 7 = -17

N*4 = -17 - 7

N*4 = -17 + (-7)

N*4 = -24

N = -24/4

therefore, N = -6

Answer 6

let the number be x

7 + x.4 = -17
4x = -17-7
4x = -24
x = -6

the reqd no. is -6

Answer 7

let the number is x
7-4x=-17
4x=7+17
4x=24-----------/4
x=6
