Answer: 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Benches = x


4x + 3 = 5x - 2

x = 5


this equals that x = 5 because we put the unknown algebraic number on one side and the numerals on the other.


So if there are 5 benches then the number of children will be


4 * 5 + 3 or 5 * 5 - 2, which both equal 23.


Therefore, the answer to this question is 23 children
