6x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Twelve subtracted from six times a number

To write in mathematical expression, we will break down the sentence:

let the number = x

six times the number = 6 × x

six times the number = 6x

12 subtracted from the multiplication:

We will deduct 12 from the expression we got above

= 6x - 12

As a result, Twelve subtracted from six times a number = 6x - 12
