Four times a number minus 5 is equal to three times the number plus 9. Find the number.
Let the required number be x.
Atq,
[tex]\implies (4 \times x) - 5 = (3 \times x) + 9 \\ \implies 4x - 5 = 3x + 9 \\ \implies 4x - 3x = 9 + 5 \\ \implies x = 14[/tex]
[tex]\therefore{\green { The\:required\: number \:is\: 14.}}[/tex]
