Question

if i add to four times a number the result is five less than five times the number what is my number ​

Answer 1

Answer:  The number is  5

Explanation:

If I understand the wording of the problem correctly, you mean that four times a number is five less than five times the number.

So, if we consider the number as  x the equation will be:

4x = 5x − 5

Subtract  5x   from both sides.

− x  = − 5

Change the signs equally on both sides.

x = 5
