Answer:

5x - 2 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) It is saying 2 less than five times a number. We can represent "a number" with the variable x, so 5 times x is 5x

2) 2 less than 5x is 5x - 2 and then it equals to 8; therefore, the final equation is 5x - 2 = 8

Hope this helps!
