Solve for X: Finding the Number That Plus -4 Equals 7

To solve this problem, we begin by formulating it as an algebraic equation based on the information given. We are asked to find a number such that adding -4 to it yields 7. Mathematically, this can be expressed as:

$x + (-4) = 7$

which simplifies to:

$x - 4 = 7$

We solve for $x$ by adding 4 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

• $x - 4 + 4 = 7 + 4$

This results in:

$x = 11$

Therefore, the number we are looking for is $11$.
