Question

three minus the product of two and a number x

Answer 1

Given statement is "Three minus the product of two and a number x "

We need to write mathematical expression for the given statement. That can be easily done by breaking the given statement into smaller pieces.

"product of two and a number x" means multiply 2 and x so that can be written as 2x

Now "Three minus the product of two and a number x " means subtract 2x from 3

so we get "3-2x"

Hence final expression will be (3-2x).
