Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

So According to the question,

5 times subtracted from three times a number,

So this means,

3x -5= 16

(In this equation now transfer 5 to the side of 16 and change the operator)

3x = 16 +5

3x = 21

x = 21 / 3 ( Three was in multiplication so we changed it to division)

x = 7
