Answer: 3 times a number can be written as 3x.
Five less than 3x means you must subtract 5 from 3x.
the word "is" means equals,
so 3x-5=10
Explanation:
since it is given that 3 times a number less than five is 1
since it is given that 3 times a number less than five is 1 getting equation:- 3x-5=1
since it is given that 3 times a number less than five is 1 getting equation:- 3x-5=1 x=6/3
since it is given that 3 times a number less than five is 1 getting equation:- 3x-5=1 x=6/3 x=2
