Question

Five added to twice a number is equal to 7 less than 4 times the number. Write the equation. 5+1^2=4x-7

Answer 1

For this item, let us represent the unknown number by the variable x. The left hand side of the equation is expressed as,
2x + 5
where the number is multiplied by 2 and then 5 is added to the product. For the right hand side,
4x - 7
Equating the two, the equation becomes,
2x + 5 = 4x - 7
