Let us translate each one separately { Using w for unknown }
The difference of a number divided by 3 and 5 is 2 'is' is the key-word, meaning you apply the = sign Difference is subtraction
→ a number divided by 3 - 5 = 2
This is your equation: → [tex] \frac{w}{3} -5=2[/tex]
Solving for w Take 5 to the other side [ When you see subtraction you do addition on the opposite side ] → [tex] \frac{w}{3}=2+5 [/tex] [tex] \frac{w}{3}=7 [/tex]
Take 3 to the other side [ When you see division you do multiplication on the opposite side ] w = 3 x 7 w = 21
