We'll look at this step by step:

Three times 3⋅

Three times the sum of a number and four : 3⋅( x+4 )

Is equal to : 3(x+4) =

Three times the sum of a number and four is equal to five times the number : 3(x+4)=∗5x∗

Three times the sum of a number and four is equal to five times the number decreased by two : 3(x+4)=5x -2

3(x+4)=5x−2
