Savanna is playing a game with her friends. she tells them to each pick a number, and then she directs them to: 1. multiply their number by 4 2. subtract 6 from that number 3. divide that number by 2. once they do that, they each tell savanna their number a. arturo says his "new" number is -15. what number did arturo start with?

x  = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x  b number, according to instructions´ we must

1.-Multiply  by  4

2.-Subtract  6

3.-Divide by 2

4.-Arturo says his new number  - 15

4,.Which one was the original number   ??

The maths expression for that  is :

(4*x - 6 ) / 2  =  -  15

we solve for x

4x  -  6  = - 30

4x   =  - 24

x  = - 6

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
