Translate the sentence into an equation. The sum of 4 times a number and 7 equals 5.

Use the variable w for the unknown number.

4w +7 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Have a nice day.

4w + 7 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

"sum" means addition (+), so we're to add two items:

item 2 to be added

This is the number 7

The sum

4w + 7

Now, the sum, equals(=)  the number 5, therefore

4w + 7 = 5

no
