Three is two less than

the product of a

number and five

Answer:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Golden Rule: whatever you do to one side of the equation you do to the other side

x is gonna be used as my representation of a number (x = a number)

3 = 5x - 2

flip the equation so the x is on the right side of the equation

move the 2 the other side of the equation

5x - 2 = 3

+2 + 2

5x = 5

separate the 5 from x by using division

5x/5 = 5/5

x=1
