Answer:

-20.67

Explanation:

Let the number be represented = x

Seven times the sum of a number and six subtracted from four times the number results in negative twenty

7 ×(x + 6) - 4 x x = -20

7(x + 6) - 4x = -20

7x + 42 - 4x = -20

7x - 4x = -20 - 42

3x = -62

x = -62/3

x = -20.67

The number is -20.67
