Question

2 less than the product of 6 and a number, what is x?

Answer 1

See full solution process below

Explanation:

First, let's write in mathematical terms "the product of 6 and a number" where the number is `x`:

"The product" means to multiply or "times" so we can write:

`6 xx x`

Now "two less than" this means to subtract `6` from this product giving:

`(6 xx x) - 6`
