Translate the statement into an equation and solve for \(x\).

"Eleven is fifteen more than four times a number."

Let \(x\) be the unknown number.

Answer :

The equation is 15+4x= 11 and the value for x= -1

what are equations?

An equation is a mathematical statement between two expressions that have equal values. For example, 15+4x= 11. The symbol = shows that 11 and 15+4x are the same

Word problems can be translated into equation with variables.

Representing the unknown with x,

4×x= 4x

the word problem is therefore translated to

11= 15+4x

collecting like terms

4x= 11-15

4x= -4

divide both side by 4

x=-1
