Question

6 less than one-third of a number m is y

Answer 1

Answer:

(m×1/3)-6=y

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Start with m as the unknown variable.
2. Now multiple that by 1/3 to find that portion of m. (m×1/3)
3. Lastly, subtract 6 and set the expression equal to y. (-6=y)
4. Thus we get our final equation: (m×1/3)-6=y
