Write the verbal expression of six times a number decreased by 2.

Answer 1

Caution !! This problem statement is ambiguous. Math expressions are much more specific.

"six times a number decreased by 2" likely is (6x - 2) but it could be 6(x-2)

"six times a number, decreased by 2" would definitely be 6x-2

but some writers do not use a comma in this English phrase.

Answer 2

6 times a number x decreased by 2

6•x - 2

6x - 2

Have a great day!
