Question

Sara ​says, "If you subtract 15 from my number and multiply the difference by negative 4​, the result is negative 48​." What is Sara's number?

Answer 1

Write the equation and go backwards.

N - 15 x -4 = -48

Instead of multiply divide and add instead of subtract

-48/-4=12

12+15=27

check if 27 is correct. 27-15=12 x -4 = -48

27 is your number. Hope this helps

Answer 2
