tj is thinking of a number, which he calls n. he finds 1/3 of the number and then subtracts 5.
If we want to find out what number TJ is thinking of, we can use the expression:

n - n/3 - 5

We can simplify this expression by finding a common denominator for the first two terms:

3n/3 - n/3 = 2n/3

So the expression can be rewritten as:

2n/3 - 5

This is TJ's number.
