You can put this solution on YOUR website! three less than a number is 5 times a number is 62. what is the number show your work. the answer is 13
:
n - 3 = 5n = 62
This just doesn't make sense.

Did you mean:
Three less than 5 times a number is 62, then we have
5n - 3 = 62
5n = 62 + 3
5n = 65
n = 65/5
n = 13
