Answer:

32

Explanation:

As per what is given

- the product of 4 and a number decreased by 7 (4 times that number let us call it x, minus 7)

- equals 100, the equation formed equals 100

Form an equation;

4(x - 7) = 100

Solve using inverse operations;

4(x - 7) = 100

/4 /4

x - 7 = 25

+7 +7

x = 32
