Sagot :

To write the given sentence as an equation, we need to interpret each part of the sentence mathematically with [tex]\( x \)[/tex] representing "a number."

The sentence says: "A number subtracted from -49 amounts to 180."

This can be broken down as follows:
- "A number" is represented by [tex]\( x \)[/tex].
- "Subtracted from -49" can be written as [tex]\( -49 - x \)[/tex].
- This "amounts to 180" means it is equal to 180.

So, combining these parts, we form the equation:
[tex]\[ -49 - x = 180 \][/tex]

The equation is [tex]\( -49 - x = 180 \)[/tex].
