Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

then 5x subtracted by 3 =3 - 5x

so

5x - 3 is the answer

Answer 2

Given:

A Number and multiply it by 2.

To Find:

to write it algebraically

Solution:

Let the number that was asked to think to be x.

Then it is multiplied by 2 which becomes 2x.

Now the number is multiplied by 5.

So, x multiplied by 5 will become 5x.

Then, 5x is subtracted from 3.

So, we can write it as 5x - 3

Therefore, it can be written as 5x - 3 algebraically.
