x-8
3-x
==> [ 3x - 8 ]
To write "24 less than a number," you would first represent the unknown number as a variable, such as x. Then, to find 24 less than that number, you would subtract 24 from the variable. So, the expression to represent this would be x - 24.
x-15, x represents the unknown number, and to have 15 less you would simply subtract 15 from x.... therefore your answer is x-15
x-8>17
write the number that is 100 less
x + x - 3 = 2x - 3
The answer is 1. 5 times x - x < 5 + x It has to be 1, anything over 1 could not be less than.
It depends on the unknown number.

Let the unknown number be x and so the expression is: 2x-3
