Converting the words to an algebraic expression yields #3x-6#.

Let's break it down.

"6 less than . . . " means we’re subtracting #6#.

“ . . . the product of 3 and a number.” means 3 and a number (#x#) are being multiplied.

Combining both expressions yields: #3x-6#.

#3x - 6#

The “ product of 3 and a number “ may be written as #3x# and “six less than the product “ can therefore be written as #3x - 6#

Answer 3 · 2017-12-12T08:05:33

Product of 3 and a number #= 3xxx#
6 less #=3x-6#
#3x-6#
