You find three times that number.
3*1 = 3
3*2 = 9
3*3 = 27
3*4 = 81
3*5 = 243
3*6 = 729
X represents the length of a deck. There are three parts to this equations. The 1. width, 2. the length, and 3. the 5 feet shorter. Using the key words, y = the width of a deck (uses the term is which means =) So that takes the width part out of the equation. Then, 5 feet shorter means -5 than a number. That takes away the 5 feet shorter part of the equation. That leaves x to equal the length of the deck.
