Answer 1

`3 - a`

Explanation:

Given that when you add two numbers together the result is 3.

The greater of the number is given as a.

Let "x" represent that lesser number.

Thus:

`a + x = 3`

To make x the subject of the formula. Subtract a from both x.

`a + x - a = 3 - a`

`x = 3 - a`

Therefore, the expression that represents the lesser number, x, is:

`3 - a`
