Answer:
The number is -4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be n.
Given:
Max adds 7 to a number.
hence it is given as n+7
Multiply's the sum by -4 the result is 3 times the same number.
Hence the equation can be written as;
[tex]-4(n+7)=3n[/tex]
Now Solving the above equation to find value of n we get;
[tex]-4(n+7)=3n\\-4n-28=3n\\-4n-3n=28\\-7n=28\\n=\frac{28}{7}=-4[/tex]
The value of n is -4.
Now when we add 7 to number -4 we get answer as 3.
And when the sum is multiplied by -4 we get answer -12.
Also 3 times of number is equal to 3 multiplied by -4 we get answer as -12.
Hence when the sum is multiplied by -4 it is equal to 3 times of same number.
Hence from above we can say that the number is -4.
