Answer:

B.
7n-3=n+4

Explanation:

Let n represent the number.

We are asked to write an equation for the given verbal phrase.

The product of seven and a number would be
7n.

Three less than the product of seven and a number would be
7n-3.

Four more than the number would be
n+4.

Equate both expressions:


7n-3=n+4

Therefore, our required equation would be
7n-3=n+4.
