Question

Write an algebraic expression for the phrase.

7 inches shorter than 6 times the length x of a table in inches

7x + 6

6x + 7

7x – 6

6x – 7

Answer 1

The required "option d) 6x – 7" is correct.

6 times the length x = 6x

and

7 inches shorter than 6 times the length x

∴ 7 inches shorter than 6 times the length x of a table in inches = 6x - 7

Hence, the required "option d) 6x – 7" is correct.
