Answer:
5n - 3
Step-by-step 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
but the problem can be switched
-3 + 5n
[tex]\boxed{5n-3}[/tex]
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:
Your answer would be option A.
