Solve the equation.

x over four – 5 = –8
A. –27
B. –12
C. –7
D. 12

x/4 - 5 = -8

=> x/4 = -8 + 5

=> x/4 = -3

=> x = -3 × 4

=> x = -12

So, answer is B. –12

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
