16-n
n - 16
( n - 16 )
25 * (n - 16) 25(n - 16)
15
n/16 - 3
N-16
Yes n-8 means 8 less than n
Let n="the number". n-3000 is 3,000 less than "n".
n + 16n - 22 3n n/12.
3 less than twice n is 2n-3
(n - 5) This is how to express 5 less than n mathematically.
if n is your number, then 3n - 5 = 16, ie 3n = 21 ie n = 7.
