Answer 2

x=16

Answer 3

Let's start by translating the problem into an equation:

4(3 + 5x) = 72

where x is the unknown number.

Now we can solve for x:

First, simplify the left side of the equation:

12 + 20x = 72

Next, isolate x by subtracting 12 from both sides:

20x = 60

Finally, divide both sides by 20:

x = 3

Therefore, the number is 3.
