a number divided by 3 and then subtracted by 4 is the same as -10

Sagot :

Answer:

-18

Step-by-step explanation:

x=???

First, we know that the number we are looking for is divisible by 3. So lets list so numbers that are divisible by 3:

all (+,-) 6,9,12,15,18,........

Second, since we know the answer has to be in the double digits from the list we can have only 3 possibles answers.

12÷3=4
4-4=0

-12÷3=-4
-4-4=-8

So 12 nor -12 cant be the answer

18÷3=6
6-4=2

-18÷3=-6
-6-4=-10

So, the answer to the problem is -18÷3-4=-10
