What is Six less than four times the sum of a number and three

Answer 1

The sum of a number and three: (x + 3)

Four times the sum of a number and three: 4*(x + 3)

Six less than four times the sum of a number and three: 4*(x + 3) - 6

Answer 2

Let's break it down ,

So the statement is "Six less than four times the sum of a number and 3"

Let's call this "number" X- the "sum of a number and 3 "is represented by (X+3). (Sum is addition)

. four times the "sum of a number and three" would be 4(X+3). (Times is multiplication)

.Six less than "four times the sum of a number and 3" is 4(X+3)-6 (Less than is subtraction)

Therefore 4(X+3)-6 is our final expression.

Hope this helps!
