Answer 1

Answer :

⇒ 4x + 5 = 5x

Explanation :

Given statement,

The sum of four times a number and 5 gives a number fives times of it.

Let's say the number is ‘x’

We can say that 4 times x i.e., ‘4x’ plus 5 gives five times of ‘x’ i.e., ‘5x’

Now, the equation goes like this,

⇒ 4x + 5 = 5x

Hence, the required equation is :-
