It could be: x-5 whereas x is an unknown variable
' N ' is the number. 5 less than it is (N - 5).
x-5
Thrice A number divided by five is three
4x - 5
Oh, dude, it's like you're asking me to do math at a party. Okay, so "thrice a number" is just 3 times a number, and "five less than" means you subtract 5. So, the algebraic expression for "five less than thrice a number" would be 3x - 5. Easy peasy, right?
(N + 5)
it is x + 5
Let's represent the number as (x). The phrase "Eight less than five times a number" can be translated to (5x - 8), and "is seven more than the number" can be translated to (x + 7). Therefore, the algebraic equation representing the given phrase is (5x - 8 = x + 7).
38 < ###
Let the number be x and so the expression is: 5x-4
a - 4
An algebraic expression for "6 less than 5 and a number" is (5 - x - 6), where x represents the unknown number.
