Consider the following statement. five less than 4 times a number equals 2 more than 3 times the number. a. write an equation to represent the statement. use n for the unknown number. b. solve the equation. c. explain how you solved the equation.

n  = unknown number

5 less than 4 times a number = 4n-5

2 more than 3 times a number = 3n+2

 so you have 4n-5 = 3n +2

add 5 to both sides:

4n=3n+7

subtract 3n from both sides:

n = 7

answer: math isn’t just mysterious because the majority of us find it so difficult to understand – it’s also the basis of the universe, giving us clues to physical phenomena like the motion of gases in the atmosphere and the way that physical particles interact with each other amid all the possible variables in three-dimensional space.
