Ezekiel Bird · Answer 1

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Four more than twice a number is - 10.

Let the number be X,

2x + 4 = - 10

2x = - 10 - 4

2x = - 14

x = - 14/2

x = - 7

Cordell Moran · Answer 2

2n + 4 < - 18

subtract 4 from both sides:

2n < - 22

Now, divide both sides by 2:

n < - 11

The solution is n < - 11
