n-5
5*n + (n - 8) = 5n + n - 8 = 6n - 8
Represent the number by n. The equation is 5n - 1 = 3n +5, and the solution is n = 3.
3*(n - 5) = 2*n + 11
6 less than a number n is n-6 This is because "n" is the variable; the number. Since the problem is 6 less than a number, you would start with writing subtract 6, which is -6, and then put n before it, subtracting 6 from n, which gives you n-6. ----
' N ' is the number. 5 less than it is (N - 5).
n-5
5*n + (n - 8) = 5n + n - 8 = 6n - 8
Represent the number by n. The equation is 5n - 1 = 3n +5, and the solution is n = 3.
If the number is N then 2N - 5 = 7 then 2N = 12 so that N = 6
Let n="the number". n-3000 is 3,000 less than "n".
3*(n - 5) = 2*n + 11
21 > 3x + 12 < n +5
n-n
-5 < (n + 1) < 3
Six times a number minus five is less than twice the number plus ten. 6 * n - 5 < 2 * n + 10 6n - 5 < 2n + 10 4n - 5 < 10 4n < 15 n < 15/4 This statement will hold true for all n < 15/4
6 less than a number n is n-6 This is because "n" is the variable; the number. Since the problem is 6 less than a number, you would start with writing subtract 6, which is -6, and then put n before it, subtracting 6 from n, which gives you n-6. ----
