Translate the equation 4x-5=3(x+2) into a verbal sentence.

Question

I am in confusion please help.

Answer 1

Hi Bob. Translate mathspeak into people speak? Sure.

4x - 5 = 3(x + 2)

Four times a number (4x) less five (-5) is the same as (=) three times (3) that same number plus two ((x+2)).

Answer 2

5 less than the product of a number and 4 is the same as the product of 3 and the sum of a number and 2
