answer by mimiwhatsup: no. you can report it but you would have to wait for a moderator to approve the request to delete it. hope that .

let "a number" = "x"

note that increased = +

x + 3.5 = -4.3

solve for x. note the equal sign. what you do to one side, you do to the other. subtract 3.5 from both sides

x + 3.5 (-3.5) = -4.3 (-3.5)

x = -4.3 - 3.5

x = -7.8

-7.8 is your answer for x
