Question

Eleven times the sum of a number and four is 11. What is the number

Answer 1

-3

===============

Let the number be n. Set up an equation to represent this problem:

• 11(n + 4) = 11

Solve it for n.

First, divide both sides by 11:

• n + 4 = 1

Next, subtract 4 from both sides to find n:

• n = 1 - 4
• n = - 3
