Question

Write the English phase as an algebraic expression. Then simplify. Let x represent the number. The difference between the product of five and a number and three times the number.

Answer 1

product = multiplication

the product of five and a number = 5 * x

Difference between A and B = A - B

difference between the product of five and a number and three times the number.

A = 5 * x, B = three times the number = 3x

difference between the product of five and a number and three times the number.

5x - 3x = 2x
