Question

Six times a number p is x less than 4 times a number y.express this as an expression

Answer 1

4y-x=6p, when 6 times a number p = 6p is less x less then a 4 times y we can easily say that when 4y is subtracted by x we get 6p let's put an eg let y =8,x=2&p=5 then we will put the following expression given above
4(8)-2=6(5)
32-2=30
30=30 lhs=rhs
Hence proved

Answer 2

The expression is  x - 4y = - 6p.

Explanation:

Given,

A number = p

The six times a number p is x less than 4 times a number y, express this as an expression = ?

According to question,

4y - x = 6p

multiplying both sides by - 1, we get

⇒  - 4y + x = - 6p

⇒ x - 4y = - 6p

The expression,  x - 4y = - 6p

Hence, the expression is  x - 4y = - 6p.
