Generally speaking, you would write this as y = x - 6
In this case, x would symbolize the number you are given and y represents the solution. If you were to graph this, you'd see a straight line that intersects the x-axis at (0, -6) and the y-axis at (6, 0).
The number could be anything less than 6
-6
The probability of rolling a number less than 6 on a die would be 5/6.
The number which is 6 hundredths less than 7.987 is 7.927
6 less than a number n is n-6 This is because "n" is the variable; the number. Since the problem is 6 less than a number, you would start with writing subtract 6, which is -6, and then put n before it, subtracting 6 from n, which gives you n-6. ----
Six less than a number w squared is written algebraically as w2 - 6
1. The event that you get an even number of a number less than 6 is a certainty.
Assuming you mean "the result is less than the first number", this isn't always true: * The answer will indeed be LESS than the first number, if you divide by a number that is GREATER THAN one. * On the other hand, the answer will be GREATER than the first number, if you divide by a number that is LESS THAN one. For example, if you divide 6 by 2, you get 3, which is less than 6. On the other hand, if you divide 6 by 1/2, you get 12, which is more than 6.
As an algebraic expression, six less than a number p is simply: p-6
Four less than a number and three is the number less one.
Nine greater than 6 is equal to 15. Therefore, 9 less than 15 is 6.
An algebraic expression for "6 less than 5 and a number" is (5 - x - 6), where x represents the unknown number.
