ANSWER

4 + 3x = 5

Step-by-step explanation

We want to translate the sentence into an equation.

To do this, we are to use variable x as the unknown number.

What we will do is take the statement word for word.

Four more than the product of a number and 3:

4 + (3 * x)

Is 5:

= 5

Therefore, we have:

4 + (3 * x) = 5

4 + 3x = 5

That is the answer.
