Answer 1

Answer:

x<3=9

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the suitable equation

Answer 2

3 - x = 9 is the equation for 'x less than 3 is 9'​

Given:

• A statement
• x less than 3 is 9        ( slight correction in Question)

To Find:

• Equation for the given statement

Solution:

Step 1:

x less than 3 means x is subtracted from 3 hence

3 - x

Step 2:

x less than 3 is 9 Hence 3 -x to be equated with 9

3 - x = 9

3 - x = 9 is the equation for 'x less than 3 is 9'​

Additional Info:

3 - x = 9

=> 3 - 9 = x

=> -6  = x

Hence value of x is -6

( there is slight mistake in the Question: x is less than 3 is 9​  should have been x  less than 3 is 9​  )
