Hey there :)
Before translating the sentence into mathematics, let r represent 'a number'
5 times a number = 5r
2 times that number = 2r
The difference between them = 5r - 2r
* Your equation
5r - 2r
* Solving the equation
= 5r - 2r
= 3r
|-5| is greater than |-2| because |-5| is 5 and |-2| is 2 and 5 is greater than 2.

We are given statement : 3 more than a number then divided the result by 8.
We need to write an algebraic expression for it.
Let us assume unknown number be n.
3 more than n = (n+3).
Now, we need to divide that result (n+3) by 8.
So, we would get (n+3) divided by 8 =
.
<h3>Therefore, final expression is

</h3>
