Question

I think of a number X , subtract 3 form it and then divide by 5 . The correct algebraic expressions

Answer 1

the correct answer according to me is :

(x-3)/5

Answer 2

Given,

The main number = X

To find,

The final algebraic expression after the given mathematical calculations.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Firstly, we have to subtract 3 from the main number.

= X-3

Secondly, we have to divide the previous result by 5

= (X-3)/5

[This final result cannot be further simplified, so we will consider this as the final algebraic expression.]

Hence, the final algebraic expression is (X-3)/5
