Elise's number is

Answer 1

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtract 14 from my number and multiply the difference by -4, you should get -100.

You need to setup the equation that is being given to you.

Subtract 14 from my number.

x - 14

Multiply the difference by -4

(x-14) * -4

You should get -100.

(x-14) * -4 = -100

Solve for x

(Elise's number is X, the missing number).

$-4(x-14) = -100\\-4x+56 = -100\\-4x=-156\\x=39$

Elise's number is 39.
