Two less than three times a number
Did the bot just make up the rest of the question where it said:
"is equal to 10" ?? It certainly was not part of the question.
Are the questions now being asked by bots as well as answered ??
Christy Flores, are you real ????
To find two less than three times a number, you can follow these steps:
1. Let's assume the number is represented by the variable "x".
2. Multiply the number "x" by 3: 3x.
3. Subtract 2 from the result obtained in step 2: 3x - 2.
Therefore, two less than three times a number "x" is expressed as 3x - 2.
To find the expression "two less than three times a number", you will need a variable to represent the unknown number. Let's use "x" as the variable.
The expression "three times a number" can be represented as 3x because you are multiplying the number by 3.
To find "two less than three times a number," subtract 2 from 3x. So the expression becomes 3x - 2.
For example, if the number is 5, substituting x with 5, you would have:
3 * 5 - 2 = 15 - 2 = 13
Therefore, "two less than three times a number" can be represented as 3x - 2.
is equal to 10
Let x be the number
3x - 2 = 10
3x = 12
x = 4
