### Instruction: Five is added to four times an integer to get a result of 277. What was the integer?### Response: I want to find the integer, so I will call it x.
The problem says that five is added to four times x, so I can write an equation for that: 5 + 4x = 277.
To solve for x, I need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, I will subtract 5 from both sides to get rid of the constant term on the left: 4x = 277 - 5.
Simplifying, I get: 4x = 272.
Next, I will divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself: x = 272/4.
Simplifying, I get: x = 68.
This is the integer that satisfies the problem.
