5 oranges when removed from a basket containing three more than seven times as many oranges,leave how many oranges in the basket?

7*5 + 3 = 38 Oranges, initially.

38 - 5 = 33 Left.

Well, if we have 5 oranges and we remove them from a basket containing three more than seven times as many oranges, we can do some math. Seven times as many oranges would be 7 * 5 = 35 oranges. Adding three to that would be 35 + 3 = 38 oranges.

So, if we remove 5 oranges from the basket, we would be left with 38 - 5 = 33 oranges.

Now, if that basket were filled with clowns instead of oranges, you'd have a whole circus going on there! But alas, it's just oranges.

Let's break down the problem step by step:

Step 1: Determine the number of oranges in the basket initially.
Given that the number of oranges removed is 5, we need to find the number of oranges in the basket before any were removed. Let's call this number "x".

Step 2: Set up an equation using the given information.
According to the problem, the number of oranges removed is 5. This means the remaining number of oranges in the basket is equal to (x - 5).

We are also given that the number of oranges in the basket is three more than seven times as many oranges as removed. This can be expressed as:
(x - 5) = 7(5) + 3

Step 3: Simplify the equation and solve for x.
(x - 5) = 35 + 3
x - 5 = 38
x = 38 + 5
x = 43

Therefore, initially, there were 43 oranges in the basket.

To find out how many oranges are left in the basket after removing 5 oranges, we need to determine the number of oranges in the basket initially.

Let's set up an equation to represent the given situation:

Let x be the number of oranges in the basket initially.

According to the given information, the basket contains three more than seven times as many oranges, which can be written as 7x + 3.

If we remove 5 oranges from the basket, the number of oranges left in the basket can be calculated by subtracting 5 from the initial number of oranges:

Number of oranges left in the basket = (7x + 3) - 5

Now, we can simplify the expression by combining like terms:

Number of oranges left in the basket = 7x + 3 - 5
= 7x - 2

Therefore, the number of oranges left in the basket after removing 5 oranges is given by the expression 7x - 2.
