Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

ok to the result is - 60 she said. So then we know that in order to get -60, you had to subtract 17 from the original number and multiply by -4.

equation is this: (x-17)×-4= -60

Next, we solve using pemdas!

x-17=[tex]\frac{-60}{-4}[/tex]   (keep in mind that a negative cancels out a negative!)

add 17 to both sides

x= [tex]\frac{-60}{-4}[/tex]+17

So then now that you have the new equation you simplify!

x= 32
