Question

Five less than three times the length L

Answer 1

this cannot be expressed as an answer but the expression for that is 3L-5

Answer 2

The expression could be written as: 3L-5.

Explanation:

We are asked to find an variable equation/ expresssion for the following world problem:

" Five less than three times the length L".

for this we have to firstly take '3' times the length 'L' (i.e. 3L) and then subtract that expression by 5 to make it five less than three times the length 'L' and hence obtain our required expression.

Hence, the expression is represented as: 3L-5
