Hey there!
Remember, 3 less than a number means we subtract 3 from that number.
It's the same as "a number minus 3"
Now, let's check all 4 options and see which one's right.
The first one is
n+3
Well, that's definitely not the right option, because it says "a number plus 3"
Is it Option B? Yeah!
Because n-3 is the same thing as "a number minus 3"
Is it Option C? Nope!
Because 3-n is the opposite of "a number minus 3"
Is it Option D? no.
Because 3n means "3 times a number"
Hence, the right expression is
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\bold{n-3}}}[/tex]
Hope everything is clear.
Let me know if you have any questions; if so, please comment.
