Answer with explanation:

We are given a equation as:


3x-y=5(y+2x)

We are asked to translate this equation into verbal sentence i.e. we have to translate the mathematical expression to words.

The translation is:

" 3 times a number "x" minus the other number "y" is equal to 5 times the sum of y and 2 times of x "

( Since, 3x means 3 times of x.

and now this expression is subtracted from y such that the left hand side of the equation is: 3x-y

and in the right hand side of the equation we have the expression: 5(y+2x)

which is 5 times of the expression y+2x

which is y plus the 2 times of x )
