18 less than four times a number is 5.

I think the mathematical equation for this sentence is

(Step 1)

4x-18=5                    Add 18 to both sides to get the numbers on the same

 +18  | +18              Side of the equals sign.

4x =23

(Step 2)

4x =23  / 4           Divide equation by four

x=5.75                     The answer is X=5.75

Hope I was able to help :)

Assuming you wanted to find that mystery number:

It would be 5.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = 4x - 18

Add 18 to both sides of the equation:

5 + 18 = 4x - 18 + 18

23 = 4x - 18 + 18

23 = 4x

Divide each side by 4:

(23/4) = (4x/4)

23/4 = x

5.75 = x

x = 5.75

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
