Question

Four more than the product of a number and 5 is 7. Find the number.

Answer 1

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number =x

The product of a number and 5 = 5x

Four more than the product of a number and 5 = 5x+4

We know that the word 'is' represents the equality sign.

Therefore, the equation is:

`5x+4=7`

Next, we solve for the number.

`\begin{gathered} 5x=7-4 \\ 5x=3 \\ (5x)/(5)=(3)/(5) \\ x=(3)/(5) \end{gathered}`

The number is 3/5.
