Answer 1

Three times the difference of nine and a number.

Let the unknown number/variable be = h

The difference of 9 and the number is written as
`9-h`

And three times this value (Three times the difference of nine and a number) is written as:

`3*(9-h)`

Now we have to tell the value of the expression when h = 5 :

So, putting h=5 in the expression.

`3*(9-5)`

`3*4`

= 12

So, The value of the expression when h = 5 is 4.

Answer 2

3(9 - h)
h = 5

3(9 - 5) =
3(4) =
12 <==
