Answer:

second option

Explanation:

five times a number: 5n (five times 2 = 5*2 = 10 like that)

four less than five times a number: 5n - 4

its like saying 7 less than 14. You take 7 away from 14 (14-7), not 7-14.

The whole thing equals to 11

Hence: 5n - 4 = 11 and n would equal 3

Answer:

5x - 4 = 11

Explanation:

4 less than 5 times a number equals 11

5 times a number minus 4 equals 11

(5*x) - 4 = 11

I hope this helps!!!
