Answer:

5(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "SUM" means the answer to an "ADDITION".

"SUM" is always used with the word "AND" to indicate which numbers are being added.

The SUM of a number AND -3 is written as:  

( x + ( − 3 ) ), or  ( x -3 )

(where we have chosen the number to be  x .)

But we want FIVE of those sums; this means:

5  ( x − 3 )

5(x-3) is the answer.
