Question

Four less than a number is 385

Answer 1

Answer:

n-4=385. The answer is 389

Answer 2

Answer:

$x-4=385$, $x=389$

Step-by-step explanation:

'less than" signifies that there will be subtraction in the expression

"a number" signals that there is a variable or unknown, so $x$ is used in its place.

"four less than is 385" this means that the variable minus $4$ is equal to $385$

$x-4=385$

Now, I don't know if the question calls for this, but you can take this a step further and solve the expression

$x-4=385$

add $4$ to both sides, to isolate the variable, leaving you with:

$x =389$
