So,
5x - x < |x - 5|
Or 4x <|x - 5|
When 3 times a number is decreased by 4 the result is 17. what is the number?
x-18=5 times -5 x-18=-25 x=-25+18 x=-7
Then the number is 20
The number is 26
three times a number decreased by eleven

When 3 times a number is decreased by 4 the result is 17. what is the number?
Four times the unknown number. Let's say the unknown number is x. x + 3x = 4x
x-18=5 times -5 x-18=-25 x=-25+18 x=-7
An unknown number x times infinity would be infinity.
The number is 4
Then the number is 20.5
Then the number is 20
The number is 26
-424Four times the unknown number
