PLEASE HELP < I NEED HELP, TRYING TO MAKE HONOR ROLL

Translate the sentence into an equation.
Nine less than the product of 3 and a number is 4 .
Use the variable w for the unknown number.

Answer 1

Answer: w = 4
`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

Let the unknown number be w , then

the product of w and 3 = 3w

Nine less than the product of 3 and the number = 3w - 9

completing the equation , we have

3w - 9 = 4

add 9 to both sides

3w = 13

w = 13/3

w = 4
`(1)/(3)`
