It could be: x-5 whereas x is an unknown variable
' N ' is the number. 5 less than it is (N - 5).
x-5
To write an algebraic expression for "five less than the product of two and a number," let the variable ( x ) represent the number. The product of two and the number can be expressed as ( 2x ). Therefore, five less than this product is represented by the expression ( 2x - 5 ).
Thrice A number divided by five is three
4x - 5
Oh, what a happy little question! To translate "five less than thrice a number" into an algebraic expression, we can let the number be represented by 'x'. "Thrice a number" is 3x, and "five less than" would be -5. So, the expression would be 3x - 5. Just remember, algebra is like painting a beautiful picture with numbers!
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).
(N + 5)
it is x + 5
Let the number be x and so the expression is: 5x-4
