To solve we have to break this down into segments: 1. Six | That gives us 6. 2. times | This implies multiplication. So...: 6 * 3. a number | Unknown variable, depicted as 'x' typically. So: 6 * x 4. is less than | Referencing the less than symbol, seen as '<'. So: 6 * x < 5. 72 | The final number to input. So: 6 * x < 72
Conclusion: 6 * x < 72 is the translated equation.
You didn't specify to simplify, I'd advise to do so in the long-run. In case your problem requires this:
To solve for x:
6 * x = 6x | Now put this together: 6x < 72 | Use the division property of equality. 6x/6 < 72/6 | Simplify. x < 12 | Meaning that the unknown variable is less than 12 overall.
I hope this helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^ | | Ghostgate | |
