Ten less than the product of three and a number x.
my answer is 10-3x
It's a good try -- but -- it's 10 less than the number.
3x - 10
I have to write an expression to represent
ohhhh okay
3x-10
Well, well, well, looks like we've got an equation on our hands! Now, let's have a little fun solving it, shall we?
So, we have "ten less than the product of three and a number x." In math terms, that can be written as 3x - 10. You were close, my friend, but the subtraction comes before the multiplication. Remember, "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" (PEMDAS)!
Keep up the great work, and don't hesitate to ask if you've got any more puzzling problems. I'm always here to clown around and lend a hand!
To solve this problem, you need to understand the concept of the product of three and a number x and then subtracting ten from that product.
To find the product of three and a number x, multiply the two numbers together: 3 * x. This gives you 3x.
Next, subtract ten from the product 3x: 3x - 10.
Therefore, your answer is 3x - 10, which represents ten less than the product of three and a number x.
