Question

The difference of a number and 6 is less than 1.

Answer 1

Answer: x - 6 < 1, x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent "a number" with x. We want to find the difference between x and 6, so we know that it is a subtraction problem. So far, we have the expression:

x - 6

We also know that this expression is less than 1. So, we are left with:

x - 6 < 1

Now, let's solve for x.

x - 6 < 1 <--- Let's add 6 to both sides

x < 7
