Answer:
4 · (x - 3)
Explanation:
Given:
4
A number = x
3
Let's piece it together using the keywords:
"Multiplied", "Difference of"
4 is being multiplied by the difference of a number and 3.
Since we know 4 is being multiplied with a binomial (The sum/difference of two terms), we can set that aside for now.
"The difference of a number and 3."
Substitute "a number" with x:
The difference of x and 3
Which essentially means a subtraction problem:
(x - 3)
Now let's put it together:
4 · (x - 3)
Where 4 is being multiplied with the subtraction of 3 from x(a number).
