What is the correct solution to this problem? A number divided by 3 is four more than - 11. What is the number? A. - 45 B. - 21 C. - 7/3 D. 45

If we add 4 to - 11, we get - 7

The problem says "A number divided by 3 is four more than - 11"

We have the number that is four more than - 11 (which is - 7). All we need to do is multiply - 7 by 3 to get our answer (which is - 21).

We can show this in an equation where x = number we are finding ...

x/3 = (-11 + 4)

Multiply both sides by 3

x = 3 (-7) = - 21
