Julio says, "if you subtract 17 from my number and multiply the difference by negative 4, the result is negative 92." what is julio's number?

"If you subtract 17 from my number and multiply the difference by negative 4, the result is negative 92.

n= number

(n-17)*(-4) = -92

distribute

-4 *n - 17*(-4) = -92

-4n +68 = -92

subtract 68 from each side

-4n +68-68 = -92 -68

-4n = -160

divide each side by -4

-4n/-4 = -160/-4

n = 40

Julio's number is 40
