1. Answer :–

   • Number => 9

   Given :–

   • Five less than 3 times a number is 4 more than two times the number.

   To Find :–

   • The number.

   Step By Step Explanation :–

   It is given that five less than 3 times a number is 4 more than two times the number.

   Let us consider the number be x.

   Then equation will be ⤵

   [tex] \boxed{ \underline{ \bf{ \purple{3x – 5 = 4 + 2x}}}}[/tex]

   Now let us find the value of x.

   [tex] \implies\sf3x – 5 = 4 + 2x \\ \\ \implies\sf3x – 2x = 4 + 5 \\ \\ \implies\bf \: x = 9[/tex]

   Therefore the number is 9.

   Verification :–

   By substituting the value of x.

   L. H. S. ⤵

   => 3 × 9 – 5

   => 27 – 5

   => 22

   R. H. S. ⤵

   => 4 + 2 × 9

   => 4 + 18

   => 22

   L. H. S. = R. H. S.

   Hence verified.
