Question

Write the expression for six times a number subtracted from 12

Answer 1

Here we are given a condition: six times a number subtracted from 12

We have to write an expression for this condition

Let us assume the number to be x

Then

6 times the number will be 6x

Now, We will have to subtract 6x from 12

So, six times a number subtracted from 12 = 12 - 6x

So, the required expression will be 12 - 6x

Answer 2

In context to questions asked,

We have to write the expression for the given statement.

As per questions,

It is given that

six times a number subtracted from 12

So let the number be x

So, six time of the number = 6×x = 6x

So, when 6 times of the number will be subtracted from 12, means we have to subtract 6x from 12, which can we written as,

$12 - 6 \times x \: = 12 - 6x$

Hence, the expression will be (12-6x)
