Your equation would be 5(x + 4). In this case it's easiest to work backwards, starting with the "sum of a number and four" part of the problem. This is simply written as x + 4, since we don't know what "a number" is referring to and have to call it x. Then we just need to multiply that answer by 5, so we'd write the equation as 5 * (x + 4) or 5(x + 4). Make sure you have the parentheses, because if not it changes the answer entirely.

One number is 5 times as large as another and the sum of the numbers is 240 find the numbers?
The sum of the numbers is 240. If one number is 5 times as big as the other then 240 must be divided by 6. 240/6 = 40. The smaller number must be this while the larger number is 5 times the size. Small number = 40 Larger number = 40 * 5 = 200
