Question

Six less than the product of 4 and a number is equal to 2

Answer 1

Answer: 4x-6=2

Explanation:

this is asking for an expression. If asked for more than or less than you flip it and do it after the next part which is the product of 4 and a number, product stands for multiplication and a number is any variable such as x. 4x is 4 times x minus 6 equaling 2.

Answer 2

n = 2

Explanation:

Six less than the product of 4 and a number is equal to 2:

n - the number

`4n-6=2` add 6 to both sides

`4n-6+6=2+6`

`4n=8` divide both sides by 4

`(4n)/(4)=(8)/(4)`

`n=2`
