Answer: x = -10
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[tex]4 + 8 \times x = -76[/tex]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[tex]4+8(x)-4=-76-4\\8(x)=-80\\\frac{8(x)}{8}=\frac{-80}{8}\\= -10\\x = -10[/tex]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Answer Explained:
Given the keywords sum(add), times(multiply), as well as a number(variable), we can make an equation out of this, which was 4 + 8 * x = -76. We subtracted the sides by 4, then divided both of the sides by the next factor, 8, to get -10.
Thus,
4 + 8 × -10 = -76
