The product of a number and 4 increased by 8 is negative 36

x · 4 + 8 = -36

How to solve this problem:

x · 4 +8 = -36

The first step to getting x alone on one side is subtracting 8 from both sides:

x · 4 = -36 - 8

x · 4 = -44

Next we divide each side by 4:

x = -44/4

x = -11

Now lets substitute -11 back into the original equation:

x · 4 + 8 = -36

-11 · 4 + 8 = -36

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
