No, your answer is not correct. The correct expression for "five less than a number multiplied by 3" can be written as 3x - 5.
To determine if your answer is correct, let's break down the given expression: "five less than a number multiplied by 3."
Let's call the number in question "x." So, "a number multiplied by 3" can be represented as 3x.
The expression "five less than 3x" indicates that we need to subtract 5 from 3x. Since it is "five less than," we subtract 5 from the product of 3x.
Therefore, the correct expression is 3x - 5, not 5 - 3x. So, your answer is not correct.
