Answer 1

6 is greater than a number is 15. what is the number

Let N = the NUMBER

"6 is greater than a number" translates to "N + 6"

"is" translates to an equal sign "="

So, the EQUATION is:

N + 6 = 15

N + 6 - 6 = 15 - 6. Subtract 6 from both sides.

N = 9

ANSWER: The NUMBER is 9.

CHECKING:

N + 6 = 15

9 + 6 = 15
