Answer:

-43.75

Explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) We know that 4/5 of a number has to equal -35 since -46 + 11 = -35.

2) 4/5x = -35 (solve for x): -35 ÷ 4/5 = -43.75

3) 4/5 x -43.75 = -35, I got this by solving for x (look at step 2)

Therefore, the answer is -43.75

Hope this helps! :D
