Answer: There are 8x-14 number of animals.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Let the number of zebras be 'x'.
A zoo has two fewer elephants than zebras.
So, the number of elephants would be
[tex]x-2[/tex]
five times more monkeys than elephants.
So, the number of monkey would be
[tex]5(x-2)+x-2\\\\=5x-10+x-2\\\\=6x-12[/tex]
So, the total number of elephants, monkeys, and zebras would be
[tex]x+x-2+6x-12\\\\=8x-14[/tex]
Hence, there are 8x-14 number of animals.
