Given that,

Time taken by Hua to complete her homework is 35 minutes

ATQ,

The time taken by Carrie is five less minutes than twice the amount of time as Hua to complete her homework. Let it is x minutes.

The numerical expression for this is given by :

x = 2(times taken by Hua)-5

x = 2(35)-2

Above is the numerical expression for time taken by Carrie.

We can also solve it, x = 70-2 = 68 minutes

Hence, this is the required solution.
