Three times a number, x, increased by four is equal to five times the number, x. Which equation can be used to solve for x?
3x+5x = 4
3x+4 = 5x
3x = 4 +5x
3x-4=5x

Answer 1

Answer: 3x+4=5x

Explanation:

Three times a number: 3x

Increased by 4 then means that you are adding 4 to that number after it is multiplied: 3x+4

Is equal to 5 times the number means that you have to set the equation equal to 5x: 3x+4=5x
