For this problem you'll get a number, find it's opposite and sum 96 to it. The equation used will be:
x = -x + 96
Where:
x = a number
-x = the opposite of x
So:
x = -x + 96
x + x = 96
2x = 96
x = 96 / 2
x = 48
And now, if you do the sum to prove your answer:
48 - 96 = -48
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\bf~48~is~the~number}[/tex]
