Question

The product of nine and a number less than five minus four times a number plus eleven equals negative thirty four

Answer 1

x=-9

Explanation:

1. rewrite the equation in math: 9x-4x+11=-34. Remember that x<5

2. simplify. subtract 11 on both sides and then take away 4x from 9x. You will get 5x=-45

3. simplify again. divide by 5 on both sides and you get x = -9
