What is the expression for the sum of the number (2) more than (x) and the number (3) less than (x)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(2x-1\)

The number 2 more than \(x\) is \(x+2\), and the number 3 less than \(x\) is \(x-3\). Therefore, their sum is \((x+2)+(x-3)=2x-1\). The expression \(2x+5\) would result from adding 3 instead of subtracting it. Exam tip: translate “more than” as addition and “less than” as subtraction before simplifying.
