Hurryyy!! Otero translated the phrase "three less than a number" into the expression 3 - X. Which best describes the accuracy of Otero's expression?
It is accurate. The phrase can be translated as "three" = 3, "less than" = subtraction, and "a number" = X, SO 3- X is
the correct expression.
It is inaccurate. Three is being subtracted from a number, so X-3 is what he should have written.
It is inaccurate. Three is being compared to a number, so 3 It is inaccurate. Three is being added to a number, so 3+ x is what he should have written.
