X = N - 5
Simple algebra.
To express "5 less than 3 times a number b," you start by representing "3 times a number b" as (3b). Then, to indicate "5 less than" this quantity, you subtract 5 from it. The final expression is (3b - 5).
Let x = the number Difference: 5 is less than a number: 5 < x 5 less than a number: x - 5 1234
Since the fraction 5/6 is less than 1, there is no need to express it as a mixed number.
(n - 5) This is how to express 5 less than n mathematically.
-- Every whole number that's less than 5 is a rational number less than 5. -- Every terminating decimal that's less than 5, and some that don't terminate, is a rational number less than 5. -- Every number less than 5 that you can completely write with digits is a rational number less than 5.
-13 is an odd number which is less than 5.
' N ' is the number. 5 less than it is (N - 5).
"5 less than a number" can be represented as x - 5, where x is the unknown number. This expression indicates that you are subtracting 5 from the number. For example, if the number is 10, then 5 less than that number would be 10 - 5 = 5.
The trick is to interpret correctly the "5 less than a number" phrase. It means "5 less than a given number". Since 39 is 3 times 13, it results that "5 less than the number" is 13. Hence, the number is 13 plus 5, that is, 18. The trick is to interpret correctly the "5 less than a number" phrase. It means "5 less than a given number".

5x-20 solved- divide 5 on both sides 5x-20 5 5 x-4
A number can't be both less than 5 and greater than 10.
There are no numbers that are more than 5 but less than 3. 3 is less than 5, so anything that is less than 3 is also less than 5.
