Question

Five less than the product of 6 and a number is equal to 8.​

Answer 1

2.16

Explanation:

Hey so we know that product means multiplication and “less than” means subtraction

So

5 less than=5-

Product of 6 and a number=6*x

So

6x-5=8

(Since it says 5 less than a product of 6 and a number, we know that we have to subtract 5 from 6x, NOt the other way around)

Add 5 on both sides:

6x=13

Divide by 6

X=2.16

Hope this helps!
