Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

four is added to four times x --)

4x + 4

2 less than 5 times x ---)

5x - 2

A/q

4x+4 = 5x-2

=> 4 + 2 = 5x - 4x

=> 6 = x

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution: Let the number be x. Therefore,

➭ Four times of x = 4x

➭ Adding 5 to 4x = (4x + 5)

Result is

➭ Two less than 5 times the number

➭ Result = (5x – 2)

Equation formed is

\implies{\rm } (4x + 5) = (5x – 2)

\implies{\rm } 4x – 5x = – 2 – 5

\implies{\rm } –x = –7

\implies{\rm } x = 7

Hence, the number is x = 7

=> 4(7) + 5 = 5(7) – 2

=> 28 + 5 = 35 – 2

=> 33 = 33
