For this problem you'll get a number, find it's opposite and sum 96 to it. The equation used will be:

x = -x + 96

Where:

x = a number

-x = the opposite of x

So:

x = -x + 96

x + x = 96

2x = 96

x = 96 / 2

x = 48


And now, if you do the sum to prove your answer:

48 - 96 = -48


Answer:


\boxed{\bf~48~is~the~number}



Hope it helped,
