Answer:

Explanation:

We have to write an equation to represent the relationship "a number decreased by negative 7 is the same thing as 48

Let the unknown number be x.

A number decreased by 7 =
x-7

Since this equals 48, algebraic equation would be


x-7=48

Note: We can solve this by adding 7 to both sides to get x=55
