Answer:

? = 28

Explanation:

Isolate the ?. Let "?" = x

x/(-7) = (-4)

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Multiply -7 to both sides:

(x/-7)(-7) = (-4)(-7)

x = -4 * -7

Simplify. Note that when you are multiplying or dividing two negative numbers, you will have a positive answer:

x = -4 * -7 = 4 * 7 = 28

28 is your answer.
