“Square five times a number” with “a number” being x is the same as saying:
5x²
“three more than the number” is the same as saying:
3 + x
Therefore the sentence “When you square five times a number, you get three more than the number.” is the same as:
5x² = 3 + x
Hope this helps, have a great day! :)
