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

3x + 5x=4

3x4.5

3x4+5

3-4-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times a number x : 3x

Three times a number x increase by 4: 3x + 4

Five times the number x: 5x

5x = 3x + 4

Subtract 3x from both the sides.

5x - 3x = 3x + 4 - 3x

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 4/2

x=2

The number is 2
