Well, honey, if the product of a number and 6 is less than 36, then that means the number has to be less than 6. So, the number could be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Take your pick, darling. Just make sure it's less than 6, or else we'll have to have a little chat about math.
"5 less than a number" can be represented as x - 5, where x is the unknown number. This expression indicates that you are subtracting 5 from the number. For example, if the number is 10, then 5 less than that number would be 10 - 5 = 5.
twice a number can be 2x and six less than it is 2x-6.
