SOLUTION

TO DETERMINE

The equation for below statement :

Three is subtracted from a number (x).This difference when multiplied by 4, gives the product as 20

EVALUATION

Here the given number = x

If we subtract 3 from x we get x - 3

Now this difference x - 3 when multiplied by 4 we get

$\sf{4(x - 3)}$

Now this product is 20

So the required equation is

$\sf{4(x - 3) = 20}$

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We can solve as below

$\sf{4(x - 3) = 20}$

$\sf{ \implies \: (x - 3) = 5}$

$\sf{ \implies \: x = 8}$

Hence the required value of x = 8
