The number here is will be represented as under -

Let the number be x.

Thus, the 5 times the number will be = 5x.

Now, it says, the number is 68 less than 5 times a number.

The equation so formed will be -

5x - 68 = x

4x = 68

x = 68.

Thus, the number will be 17.

Let us re-check the number,

(5 × 17) - 68 = 17

85 - 68 = 17

17 = 17. Thus, the number will be 17.

Answer:

$x = 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Regroup terms.

$4x - 1 = 3x + 3$

2. Add 1 to both sides.

$4x = 3x + 3 + 1$

3. Simplify 3x + 3 + 1 to 3x + 4.

$4x = 3x + 4$

4. Subtrect 3x from both sides.

$4x - 3x = 4$

5. Simplify 4x - 3x to x.

$x = 4$

Therefor, the answer is, x = 4.
