The number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We set up the equation given the conditions listed. Since it says 5 times the difference between a number and 7, we can use x as a placeholder for the number.

(x-7) is the difference between the number and 7. The question asks for 5 times that difference thus we multiply the entire thing by 5 giving us 5(x-7. The question says that it all equals -15 so we set that expression equal to -15.

Thus we get the equation and solve:

5(x-7)= -15 (distributive property)

5x-35= -15 (add 35 to both sides)

5x=20 (divide by 5)

x=4; so the number is 4

the last choice

step-by-step explanation:

the equation for this situation is y=122+45. to solve the equation you would add 45 and 122 to get a total of 167lbs. in conclusion, grace's weight eight weeks ago was 167lbs.
