Question

Which expression correctly represents “three less than the product of a number and two, increased by five”?

Answer 1

It would be 3-2x+5 hoped that helped

Answer 2

Answer:

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 $(2x-3)+5$
