Answer: The third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation: 6x means "six times a number", which the unknown number is x. The less-than sign shows the "less than" part of the equation, and -39 3/4 represents the "negative thirty-nine and three-quarters". Hope this helps, also i got it right on edge.
