Answer:

B. 3

Explanation:

Let's make an equation for this. Our unknown number is x.

x

We are adding 4.

x + 4

Then multiplying by 5.

(x + 4) • 5

It will equal 35.

(x + 4) • 5 = 35

To solve this, divide both sides by 5.

(x + 4) = 7

Now subtract 4 from both sides.

x = 3

This is your answer.

Check this by plugging it back into our original equation.

(x + 4) • 5 = 35

(3 + 4) • 5 = 35

7 • 5 = 35

35 = 35

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!
