Answer: 2n+5-3
Explanation:
Break this quote down:
"three less than the product of a number and two, increased by five"
To this:
"three less than the product" ==> product-3
Now break this quote down
Product: "product of a number and two, increased by five"
To this:
"product of a number and two" ==> 2*n
"increased by five" ==> +5
"product of a number and two, increased by five" ==> 2*n+5
Product: 2*n+5
Product-3: 2*n+5-3=2n+5-3
