Answer:

3. -21 4. 16

Explanation:

First we are looking for what number divided by 3 equals -7.

21 divided by 3 equals 7

So we know that we need the opposite of 21 which is -21.

Insert into equation:

-21/3=-7

So this makes the equation true.

Hence, the correct answer is -21.

Now we are looking for what number divided by -4 equals -4.

-16 divided by -4 equals 4.

So we know that we need the opposite of -16 which is 16

Insert into equation:

16/-4=-4

This makes the equation true.

Hence, the correct answer is 16
