Question

what number must be divided by -4 to get 24​

Answer 1

Answer :-

• The required number is -96.

To find :-

• The number which must be divided by -4 to get 24.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Here, we have to find the number which must be divided by -4 to get 24. For this, we will take the required number as 'x', use it to form an equation and then solve it to find our answer.

Calculations :-

Let the required number be "x".

It has been given that :-

• When x is divided by -4, the result is 24.

----------------------------------

Therefore,

$\longmapsto\sf\dfrac{ \: \: \: \: x}{ - 4} = 24$

Transposing 4 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign,

$\longmapsto\sf x = 24 \times ( - 4)$

Multiplying 24 by -4,

$\underline{\boxed{\longmapsto\sf x = - 96}}$

• Hence, -96 must be divided by -4 to get 24.

Know more :-

• To check our answer, lets divide -96 by -4 and see whether we get 24.

$\longmapsto \sf \dfrac{ - 96}{ - 4}$

$\longmapsto \sf 24$

• We get 24 on dividing -96 by -4.

Hence verified!
