I'm going to write the phrase sideways, OK. you can use this method if you need to.

six=6
less than= < or -
eight=8
times=x
(a) number=n

then you rewrite what you have beside the words.

6 {< or -} 8n

unless it says 'is less than', you put a subtraction sign. reword afterwords.

8n-6

that is your answer!
