Answer:
5x-3x = 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
"The difference" = the substraction of two numbers
(something) - (something)
"The difference between the product of five and a number"
By product means multiplication. So, the multiplication of five and a number. Before, you have been told to represent the number with "x", and thats what you will do now.
(5*x) = (5x)
(5x) - (something)
"The difference between the product of five and a number and three times the number"
With three times the number, we mean the same letter "x" & three times will be the amount of times we will multiply it. So, by the end we will have:
(5x)-(3x)
Now we just rest them
5x-3x= 2x
