Answer:

83/10

Explanation:

let x represent the number:

43/10 - x = 4

x = 4 + 43/10

simplifying the answer:

x = (4(10) + 43)/10

x = (40 + 43)/10

x = 83/10

(43)/(10) - x = 4 \\


(43)/(10) - x = (40)/(10) \\

Subtract sides 43 / 10


- (43)/(10) + (43)/(10) - x = - (43)/(10) + (40)/(10) \\


- x = ( - 43 + 40)/(10) \\


- x = - (3)/(10) \\

Negatives simplifies


x = (3)/(10) \\

Thus we need to subtract


(3)/(10) \\
