Question

If u subtract 17 from my number and multiply the difference by -7, the result is -35.What is my number

Answer 1

Answer: The number is 22.

Explanation:

use the equation -7(x-17)=-35, then simplify

-7x-119=-35

-7x=-154

x=22

so your number is 22.

Answer 2

Let x = your number.

(x - 17) * -7 = -35. Divide each side by -7.

(x - 17) = 5. Add 17 to each side.

x = 22.

Your number is 22
