Question:
Translate statement into algebraic equation.
Let X represent the number, 12 less than 5 a number is 18.
Answer:
Let X represent the number,
5 times x = 5x
12 less than 5 times x = 5x - 12
It is given that, 12 less than 5 times x = 18
That is, 5x - 12 = 18, which is the correct answer.
Hope you found the explanation useful.
