The expression \( 3x - 4 \) represents:
**B. The difference of three times a number and four.**
Here's the reasoning:
- The term \( 3x \) means three times a number (where \( x \) is the number).
- The term \( -4 \) indicates that 4 is being subtracted from \( 3x \).
So, the expression \( 3x - 4 \) is accurately described as "the difference of three times a number and four."
