Question

five times a number is equal to three times the sum of the number and 4 what is the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

So, The Equation will be:-

5x = 3 (x + 4)

5x = 3x + 12

5x - 3x = 12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

Therefore, the number is 6.

Answer 2

The number is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

statement as in question

To find:

the number

Solution:

We convert or express the statement in equation form

Let's assume that the number is x

Then, according to the given statement

five times the number (x) = three times x sum of the number (x) and 4

5 X (x) = 3 X (x+4)

⇒ 5x = 3 (x+4)

Let's simplify the equation to find the number x

⇒ 5x = 3x + 4...................(multiplying the term 3 to the whole bracket)

∴ 5x - 3x = 4.....................(bringing the like terms together)

∴ 2x = 4

∴ x = 4/2

∴ x =2

Thus, the number is 2
