2 more than 5 times a number and 4 less than 3 times a number?

Answer 1

You are missing something. I assume you want to say: "2 more than 5 times a number is 4 less than 3 times same number, What is the number?"

if this is what your problem ask then the answer is following:

let x be your number

5 times a number is: 5x

3 times a number is: 3x

2 more than 5 times a number is: 2+5x

4 less than 3 times a number is: 3x-4

All together 2+5x=3x-4

Solving for x you get x=-3
