Question

5. If three times a number is increased by 4, the result is -8.

Answer 1

False

I think that’s right because three times 5 is 15 increased by four is 19 not -8 so...

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Let the unknown number be x. Then;

According to the question;

3x+4= -8

3x = -12

x = -12/3

Therefore, x = -4

Check:

3*-4 +4 = -8

-12+4 = -8

-8= -8 (True).

Hope it helps...
