Answer:

The required equation is 5x - 3 = 12

Explanation:

We have to find the equation for the given condition

Let the number be x as given in the equation

Now according to the condition

5 time the Number is 5 *x = 5x

Three less then 5 time the Number would be 5x - 3

And all of it is equal to 12

Which gives us the equation

5x - 3 =12

The required equation is 5x - 3 = 12
