When the product of 6 and the square of a number is increased by 5 times the number, the result is 4. Which equation represents this situation?

6x^2 + 5x - 4 = 0
6x^2 + 5x + 4 = 0
6^2x + 5 + x = 4
6 + x^2 + 5x = 4

Let

x-------> the number

we know that

1) The expression "the product of
6 and the square of a number", represent the equation


6x^(2)

2) The expression " increased by
5 times the number", represent the equation


+5x

3) The complete expression "the product of
6 and the square of a number is increased by
5 times the number, the result is
4 ", represent the equation


6x^(2)+5x=4 -------->
6x^(2)+5x-4=0

therefore

the answer is the option


6x^(2)+5x-4=0
