3x= 5x-10 2x=10 x=5
If the number is 'z', then five less than twice the number is ( 2z - 5 ).
23.720.
Any negative number.
x-5
Five (5) more than (+) three times a number (3x) is (=) five times the number (5x) less (-) three (3) 5 + 3x = 5x - 3 x = 4
3x= 5x-10 2x=10 x=5
Expressed algebraically, this is equal to 5(x - 3).
3x + 5 < 12
Represent the number by n. The equation is 5n - 1 = 3n +5, and the solution is n = 3.
3l - 5 is an expression for five less than three times the length l
3X-5 = 19 3X = 24 X=8
Let the number be x and so if 3x-5 = 1 then the value of x is 2
three less than four = 1 1< *number* > 4 times the sum of the number + 1 1 < *number* > 5 So all numbers that are greater than one but less than five. 2, 3, 4
Thrice A number divided by five is three
two less than three times a number is 28
three fourths is greater than five eights
