Answer:

[tex]\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{-7}}[/tex]

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

[tex]4(x+8)=4[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 4,

[tex]x+8=1[/tex]

Subtracting 8 from both sides,

[tex]x=-7[/tex]

The number is -7.

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

[tex]4(8+x)=4[/tex]

Expand

[tex]4(8+x )\\4\times 8 = 32\\4 \tiimes x = 4x\\\\= 32+4x[/tex]

[tex]32+4x =4[/tex]

Collect like terms and simplify

[tex]4x =4-32\\4x = -28[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

[tex]\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{-28}{4}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]x =-7[/tex]
