six times a number minus twice the same number

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Think about what we have here... can you tell me what you know you have based off of the words?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

six times a number=6n?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Good

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

So what would be twice the same number?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Or twice a number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2n?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Good put it together... with a minus sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6n-2n=4n?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

It is just an expression... so you are not solving it. 6n-2n

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

The variable is the 'n' for both the 6 and 2 because they said twice the SAME number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I also need the simplified expression

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

4n is simplified

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

4n is simplified

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (mathlegend):
