Explanation:

We need to write equation for this sentence:

The difference between a number and five equals three.

Let number = x

So, the equation will be:

`\mathbf{x-5=3}`

Now, solving the equation to find value of x

`x-5=3`

Adding 5 on both sides

`x-5+5=3+5\\x=8`

So, solving the equation we get x=8

Option B is correct.
