Question

The product of two numbers decreased by six is less than 30. Write an algebraic expression, but do not solve. *

Answer 1

(x × y) - 6 < 30

xy - 6 < 30

xy < 30 + 6

xy < 36

Explanation:

Let us represent:

First number = x

Second number = y

The product of two numbers decreased by six is less than 30.

The algebraic expression is given as

(x × y) - 6 < 30

xy - 6 < 30

xy < 30 + 6

xy < 36
