Let the number be 'x'
So, the difference between 3 times a number and five = 3x - 5
The product of four times the number increased by two = 4x + 2
Therefore, the expression will become
3x - 5 = 4x + 2
Solving the equation we get,
3x - 5 = 4x + 2
3x - 4x = 2 + 5
- x = 7
x = -7
Thus, the num,ber is -7
