four times a number increased by 5 is 37 translate this into algebraic equation
i dont know if this is correct though;
4x(5) = 37
4x=37-5
4x/4=32/4
x=8
check:
x=8
4(8)=37-5
32=32
your first equation should have been
4x +5 = 37 instead of 4x(5) = 37
but then you miraculously switched it to the right one as you solved it.
The answer is correct
3n+5=7
To translate the given statement into an algebraic equation, we need to assign a variable to the unknown number. Let's use the variable "x" to represent the number.
The statement "four times a number increased by 5 is 37" can be translated into the following equation:
4x + 5 = 37
Explanation:
- We start with the unknown number, which is represented by "x."
- The phrase "four times a number" can be translated as "4x," since we multiply the number by 4.
- The phrase "increased by 5" means we add 5 to the result of 4x.
- Finally, the result of 4x increased by 5 is equal to 37, which is translated as "4x + 5 = 37."
