The difference between six times a number and 7 is equal to five times the sum of the number and 4. Find the number.
If x represents the number, which equation is correct for solving this problem?
A. 7-6x=5x+4
B. 6x-7=5(x+4)
C. 7-6x=5(x+4)
D. 6x-7=5x+4
The difference (subtraction) of 6 times a number (x represents number) and 7. This gives us 6x-7. That is equal to five times (multiplication) the sum (addition) of the number, x, and 4. This gives you = 5(x+4) and combined gives us B, 6x-7=5(x+4).
