How would i write The difference of three times a number and 4 is -19 in a equation?

Hi! I'm happy to help!

To solve this, we first have to understand the terms and the way they arrange the equation.

First, we have the difference of and=. (the "is" after 4 refers to equals)

We will write this as:

-= ,because difference means subtraction.

For our first blank, we have 3 times a number. Because we do not know this number, we will use a variable.(n) 3 times a number is 3 multiplied by a number. We can just write 3n, because it represent multiplication.

3n-=

Now, we see the part of the equation after the "and". We just see 4, so we can insert that here:

3n-4=

Now, we see what is shown after the "is".

We just have -19, so we can insert that here:

3n-4=-19

Now, let's solve (not sure if I need to):

To solve for n, we have to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, let's cancel out the -4 on the left side of the equation by adding 4 to both sides:

3n=-15

From here, we need to get rid of the 3 next to the n by dividing both sides by 3:

n=-5

So, we write it as 3n-4=-19, and n=-5.

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

answer: 590

step-by-step explanation:

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
