Answer:

-4

Explanation:

From the question, we can deduce that the algebraic expression is a multiplication of a number and a variable.

First instance;

Number = +1

variable= x

Output = -4

+1 * x = -4

x = -4/1 = -4

Second instance;

Let the unknown number be y.

Number = y

variable= 2x

Output = -8x

y * 2x = -8x

y = -8x/2x

y = -4

Check:

2x * -4 = -8x
