If five times a number is subtracted from 27, the result is nine more than four times the number. Which equation can be used to find the value of the number?
A. 5(27 - x) = 9 + 4x
B. 27 - 5x = 4(9 + x)
C. 27 - 5x = 4x + 9
D.
5x - 27 = 9 + 4x

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Listen, just think about it.

If 5 times “x” is subtracted from 27 (so 27-5x) if the result/answer

(meaning its equal “=“ ) is 9+ than 4 times “x” (soo basically like 4x +9). If you put all of those 2 equations together you get 27 x 5x = 4x + 9.

(I use “x” to as the variable and remember when a variable is next to a number it means you have to multiply whatever that number is)
