Question

Seven less than a third of the sum of a number and two.Make sure it's an expression

Answer 1

Let's use the variable x to represent the missing number.

The sum of a number and two is "x + 2".

A third of this sum is "(x + 2)/3"

Seven less than that is "(x + 2)/3 - 7"

So the final expression is:

`(1)/(3)(x+2)-7`
