write a algebric expression for the sumof 5 tines a number and 4 is = to4times a number

Question

The sum of 5 times a number and 4 is = to 4 tines a number

Answer 1

Wen yu sae werds, hard tu tell wot yu meen

me ges yu meen...5x+4=4x

or x+4=0

so x=-4

Answer 2

5x+4=4x means 5 times a number plus 4 = 4 times the same number. 5x+4=4y means 5 times a number plus 4 = 4 times a different number. In the first case, the equation can be solved, because x=-4 satisfies the equation. In the second case there isn't enough information to solve the equation.
