−20 times a number minus 36 is equal to -45 less than a number unknown is x write equation.
I've helped you with other problems like this.
Now it's your turn.
What do you think the equation is?
x is the unknown I've tried to solve it this way. -20(x-36)=(x-45)
Right.
To write the equation, let's assume the unknown number is represented by the variable "x".
The given information states that "-20 times a number minus 36 is equal to -45 less than a number unknown is x."
From this information, we can create the equation:
-20x - 36 = x - 45
In this equation:
-20x represents "-20 times a number".
-36 represents "minus 36".
x represents "a number unknown".
45 represents "45 less than a number".
By setting up the equation as shown above, we can solve for the value of x.
