Answer 1

i. Five less than three times a number.

if x is a number

3 times x = 3x

5 less than 3x = 3x - 5

y = 3x - 5

ii. Eight times the sum of a number and 5

if x is a number

sum of the number and 5 = (x + 5)

8 times the sum = 8(x + 5)

y = 8(x + 5)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(I) Five less than three times a number = 5 - ( 3n )

(ii) Eight times the sum of a number and 5

=. 8 ( 5 + m)
