Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
If it gives a result of -4 then our equation will have …. = -4
If we subtract 9 from the quotient of a number and 5 we have x/5 – 9
Our equation is:
x/5 – 9 = -4 add 9 to both sides
x/5 = -4 + 9
x/5 = 5 multiply both sides by 5
x = 5(5)
x = 25
Check: 25/5 – 9 = 5-9 = -4
