liban is thinking of a number, which he calls n. he finds 1/3 of the number and then subtracts 5. write an expression to represent libans number.
n - 3n/9 - 5
tj is thinking of a number, which he calls n. he finds 1/3 of the number and then subtracts 5. write an expression to represent j number.
n - n/3 - 5
tj is thinking of a number, which he calls n. he finds 1/3 of the number and then subtracts 5.
If we want to find out what number TJ is thinking of, we can use the expression:
n - n/3 - 5
We can simplify this expression by finding a common denominator for the first two terms:
3n/3 - n/3 = 2n/3
So the expression can be rewritten as:
2n/3 - 5
This is TJ's number.
To represent Liban's number, n, after finding 1/3 and subtracting 5, we can use the following expression:
n - (1/3)n - 5
To write an expression representing Liban's number, let's break down the steps:
1. Liban finds 1/3 of the number: n/3
2. Then, he subtracts 5: n/3 - 5
So, the expression representing Liban's number would be: n/3 - 5.
