Question

Help me with this problem please

Answer 1

`\boxed{5n-3}`

Answer: To interpret this expression, we first identify that "3 less than 5" means that we are subtracting 3 from 5. Our equation looks like this:

5 - 3

Now, we add the variable. We would put n in front of 5, because the problem says "5 times a number n." It now looks like:

5n - 3

Your answer would be option A.

Answer 2

5n - 3

Explanation:

3 less then 5 time a number (n)

first of all we know were subtracting

-3

and were multiplying 5 and a number

5n

in my mind the one thing that makes sense is

5n - 3

but the problem can be switched

-3 + 5n
