you really need to try and solve these questions on your own, say what you think is the answer and ask other people to tell you if what you think is correct or not. if not then you want the explanation behind the correct answer just like what the math teacher did. Try solving the next question on your own.

really I could add a few more steps to help in the translation of the second part...

"six less than four times a number" 
six less than 4N
4N minus six 
4N - 6
4N -6
