Answer 1

The question has omitted  options but i will solve, so you will just check my answer from the options you have.

Answer: The equation  to find the value of x = 3x+ 2= 5x-4

The value of x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The sum of 3 times the value of x and 2 is equal to four less than five times the value of x can be expressed as

3x+ 2= 5x-4

Step 2

Solving this equation  to find the value of x , we have that

3x+ 2= 5x-4

3x-5x= -4-2

-2x= -6

x= -6/-2

x=3
