Write an expression to represent the following product of 6 and a number decreased by 11

Question

Evaluate the expression for n=12

Answer 1

6* (x-11)

Answer 2

Product represents multiplication *

And signifies the numbers that are being combined.

Decreased by means that the number is being subtracted by the number that follows.

For example: The sum of twice a number and 5 is 13. What is the number?

2n + 5 = 13

The equation is solved for n to find that n is 4.

For the example posted:

6n - 11 will be the resulting expression.

Evaluating for n=12 means that 12 is plugged in for n.

6(12) - 11 = 72 - 11 = 61.
