Question

5 time a number decreased by 3 is 4 . Find the number.

Answer 1

5x -3 = 4

5x = 7

x = 7/5= `1.4

UNLESS maybe you really meant

5(x-3) = 4

5x -15 = 4

5x = 19

x = 19/5 = 3.8

technically the 1st solution is correct using PEMDAS order of operations. But how you copy the problem might have changed the problem
