Type the integer that makes the following subtraction sentence true:

Question

− –1 = –4

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x - 1 = -4 \), we need to isolate \( x \).

We can do this by adding 1 to both sides of the equation:

\[ x - 1 + 1 = -4 + 1 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = -3 \]

So the integer that makes the subtraction sentence true is \( -3 \).
