line C: x/3 = -15
line D: x/3 times 3 = -15 times 3

I think the first line: so line A.
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
because, line A should be like this:
x/3+4=11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thank you!
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
sorry:
x/3=11+4
OpenStudy (ageta):
one is wrong because the sentence says 4 less then x/3
The equation they give is
x/3+4=-11
When it is supposed to be
x/3-4=-11

\[x \div3=11+4 \]

A number (n) divided by 3 (\(n\div 3\)) is four more than 11 (\(n\div 3~=~4~+11\)) than eleven
OpenStudy (ageta):
When it is supposed to be
x/3-4=-11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It should be that one I think or is it this one:
\[x \div3=11-3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It is line A.

yes the answer would be A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Right? I mean . . . is it + or -?
sammixboo (sammixboo):
is basically means equal to, and since it says 4 more than 11, it would be +
