Answer:

Your answer to 11 is correct, 5 minus a number is 5-x. However, three fewer than a number is the same as saying a number minus three. so it would be x-3. if we use this equation to check: 9-3=6, and six is three fewer than nine. so you ranswer to 22 is I, x-3.

In the image, we can see that

five minus a number is matched to S 5 - x

Also, 11 is mached to S on the bottom row.

Hence, we have that


5-x=11

So you will for x, by collecting like terms.

5-x=11

5-11=x

-6=x

Hence x=-6

In the image, we can see that three fewer than a number is matched to G 3-x at the left
