Seven times a number minus the number is -48. Find the number. A. the number is -8
B. the number is 8
C. the number is 6

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

let's say the number is equal to x; seven times the number is 7x;

then it says minus the number so 7x-x is equal to -48

7x-x=-48; combine the x's

6x = -48; now divide by 6

x = -8
