Respuesta :

'the sum of a number and four' means

[tex](x+4)[/tex]

And three times that is

[tex]3(x+4)[/tex]

Then, that 'equals to five times a number'

[tex]5x[/tex]

'decreased by two':

[tex]5x-2[/tex]

So, the statement is translated into the equation:

[tex]3(x+4)=5x-2[/tex]

The correct answer is option A
