I have a secret number (x). Seven more than quadruple my number equals -5. What is my number?

Your number is 0.5, 2/4, or 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to set up your equation and then solve for x. We know that quadruple your number (x) plus 7 equals -5. Quadruple your number is the same as multiplying by 4. So it would be 4x + 7 = -5. We add seven to both sides and that would leave us with 4x = 2. Then we divide both sides by 4 to get x on it's own. x = 2/4 or 1/2

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

answer: the answer is 30 miles per hour.

ft/s -> mphmph = ft/s 1.466667mph = 44 divided by 1.466667mph = 30.00000
