Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{Hi~there!}`

Let's say we have a number s.

Six times the difference of 4 and s is equal to 48.

6(4-s)=48

Distribute 6:

24-6s=48

-6s+24=48

Move 24 to the right, using the
`\pmb{opposite\;operation}`.

Since the opposite of addition is subtraction, we subtract 24:

-6s=48-24

-6s=24

Divide both sides by -6:

`\huge\boxed{Answer:{\boxed{\sf{s=-4}}}}`

Hope it helps! Enjoy your day! :)
