Three is four more than five times a number

Question

Please translate the expression I really don't understand

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets translate this shall we!?

Three is four more than five times a number. Lets define some words into math!

is means '='

more than means '+'

a number means 'x'

So, three is four more than five times a number is translated to 3 = 4 + 5x.

Then we solve!

3 = 4 + 5x

-4 -4

---------------

-1 = 5x

--- ----

5 5

x = (-1/5)

Not sure if you had to solve it but the translation is there! I hope this helped!
