1. write an equation to solve the following. show all your work, including the steps for solving the equation and checking your answer. -4x+16=-166 find the number. add your work so i can figure it out !

-4x+16=-166
-16. -16

-4x=-182

-4. -4
x= 45.5

Equation                                  
-4x+16= -166      
      -16   -  16          subtract 16 from each side of the equation
-4x = -182
-4       -4                  divide both sides of the equation by -4 to get x alone

x = 45.5

Answer: the correct answer is 10step-by-step explanation: let the number be n, then the expression becomes,then“twelve more than the quotient of a number and two, decreased by four” iswhen n=4,we substitute 4 whetever we see n to get,we simplify to obtain,we further simplify to get,therefore the correct answer is c.
