The number "k" is 25

Solution:

Given that, Six less then a number, k, is 19

To find: write and solve an equation to solve for k

From given information,

Let the number is "k"

Six less then a number k is 19

Here, "less" means reduced or subtracted

6 is subtracted from k

This statement means that, number "k" reduced by 6 is equal to 18

k - 6 = 19

k = 19 + 6

k = 25

Thus the number "k" is 25
