Answer:


y=x-3

Explanation:

We have been given a description. We are supposed to represent our given description in an equation.

We know that input of a function is x values and it is independent variable. The output is y values and it is dependent on x.

The output is three less than the input. We can represent this information in an equation as:


\text{Output}=\text{Input}-3


y=x-3

Therefore, our required equation would be
y=x-3.
