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

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5
