OpenStudy (phi):
five added --> 5+
three times a number --> 3x (x is the number)
is --> =
so the first part is
5+3x =
or
3x+5=
(order can be changed when adding)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so that means A
OpenStudy (mynameisnemo):
yes
OpenStudy (phi):
eight less --> -8 + (this might be tricky)
than 5 times the number --> 5x
so the right hand side is
-8+5x
or
5x+ -8
or
5x-8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok great thanks @phi and @MyNameIsNemo

sometimes I use real numbers to try to understand the English.
For example:
I know "one less than two" is 1
so it must be 2-1 is what one less than two means
OpenStudy (phi):
or two more than ten
I know that is 12
2 more than 10 must mean 2+10 because that is how you get 12
OpenStudy (phi):
and if they say
two more than a number
I know based on how two more than ten works i.e. 2+10
I would do 2+ some number
then call the number "x", so it is 2+x
