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.
3 added to five times a number,the result is multiplied by 4.The final result is 72 what is the number.
