Three times a number, x, increased by four is equal to five times the number, x. which equation can be used to solve for x?

a.3x+5x=4
b.3x+4=5x
c.3x=4+5x
d.3x-4=5x

The value of x is 2 .

Option (b) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Three times a number, x, increased by four is equal to five times the number, x.

Thus the equation becomes

3x + 4 = 5x

5x - 3x = 4

2x = 4

x = 2

Therefore the value of x is 2 .

Option (b) is correct .

45
