Answer 2

Let x represents the number.

Given the statement: "Three less than the product of a number and two, increased by five".

"Product" means multiply

"Product of a number and two" translated to
`2x`

"Three less than the product of a number and two" translated to 2x - 3

Increased by 5 means +5

then;

the given statement becomes;

`(2x-3)+5`

Therefore, the expression that represents "three less than the product of a number and two, increased by five" is
`(2x-3)+5`
