Respuesta :

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number .

Two- fifth of a number=[tex]\frac{2}{5}x[/tex]

Now, it is decreased by 3=[tex]\frac{2}{5}x-3[/tex]

We have to find the expression if the number is 25.

To find the value of expression we will substitute x= 25 in the expression.

The expression is given by

[tex]\frac{2}{5}x-3[/tex]

Substitute x=25
