Grady has three less than twice the amount of pencils that Mason has.
Which expression represents this problem?

• 3 - 2p
• 2p - 3
• 3 - 2 + p
• (2 + p) - 3

Translate the sentence into an equation, and then solve the equation:
Three less than a number is 18.

• 3 - x = 18; x = -15
• 3 - x = 18; x = 21
• x - 3 = 18; x = 21
• x - 3 = 18; x = -15
