Given:
TJ is thinking of a number which he calls n.
He finds 1/3 of the number and then subtracts 5.
To find:
The expression to represent tj's number.
Solution:
TJ is thinking of a number which is n.
[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] of the number n = [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}n[/tex]
Then subtracts 5 = [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}n-5[/tex]
Therefore, the expression to represent tj's number is [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}n-5[/tex].
The expression to represent TJ's number is [tex]\rm \dfrac{1}{3}n - 3[/tex] and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations and the given data.
Given :
The following steps can be used in order to determine the expression to represent TJ's number:
Step 1 - According to the given data, the number TJ's thinking about is 'n'.
Step 2 - Now, TJ's find 1/3 of the number 'n'. That is:
[tex]\rm =\dfrac{1}{3}n[/tex]
Step 3 - Now, he subtracts that number obtained in the above step by 3.
[tex]\rm =\dfrac{1}{3}n - 3[/tex]
So, the expression to represent TJ's number is [tex]\rm \dfrac{1}{3}n - 3[/tex].
