You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4%2B%285%2An%29=49 "four more than the product of a number and 5 is 49."
you have to know how to read the problem and translate it to numbers and symbols
more than is "+", product is "*", number is "n", is means "="
solve like any regular equation
4%2B%285n%29=49subtract 4
%285n%29=45 divide by 5
highlight%28n=9%29
