Question 787193
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


A little error in the other answer.


"The difference of four times a number and five", what the problem said, is *[tex \LARGE 4x\ -\ 5], not *[tex \LARGE 4x\ -\ 5x] which would be stated "The difference of 4 times a number and 5 times the same number"


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 4x\ -\ 5\ =\ 2x\ +\ 3]


Solve for *[tex \Large x]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi}\ +\ 1\ =\ 0]
