Can you write this word problem to a equation. A number is 6 fewer than 12

Question

I really need help my teacher left me homework I need helpers about equations and word problems 

Answer 1

A number (x) is 6 fewer ("less than") 12.

 

Therefore, x = 12 - 6

 

By the way, you do not have to use the "x" (unless either a) your teacher said that you "must" use "x" for the unknown, or b) you really like using "x" over other letters of the alphabet (you could use "z", "m", "p", or absolutely any of the letters from A to Z, if you prefer them to "x"!).

 

Hope this helps you, Claudia!

Answer 2

X=(12-6)

 

 

 

Number is your unknown. Your unknown number is 6 less (fewer) than 12.
