Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write the expression in math language and then we evaluate it if the number is -3.

For us, the "number" will be represented with an x. It says that the number is tripled, so we have 3*x.

But we need five more than that number tripled, so we have 3*x + 5.

Now we evaluate it if the number is -3. For that, we just replace the x with -3:

3*(-3) + 5 = -9 + 5 = -4
