Would is be something like (-4 * x) + 16 = (-116)?

ms-brains · Answer

I think it would be something like that...

ms-brains · Answer

Do you know how to solve that...?

toloaf · Answer

-4x+16=-116
take away 16 from both sides
-4x=-132
divide both sides by -4
x=33

Awesome, but is what @flowaei  correct? is that really the word problem translated?

toloaf · Answer

Yes, it is. Kinda strange format, though. I'd just go with -4x+16=-116 but I dunno.

@toloaf is correct.

anonymous · Answer

Because the first part is -4 times a number, so you would write -4x (x being the unknown number) then the next part is plus 16 so you would add 16 to that side -4x + 16 then that all adds up to -116 so the equation would be -4x + 16 = -116. After that you would subtract 16 from both sides and get -4x = -132. After that you would then divide by -4 on both sides to get x by itself, resulting in x = 33.
