OpenStudy (rational):

say the `number` is `n`

OpenStudy (rational):

` "the product of number and -6, ` translates to : (n) * (-6) = -6n

OpenStudy (rational):

` decreased by 3` translates to : -6n - 3

OpenStudy (rational):

` is less than 57"` translates to : ?

OpenStudy (neer2890):

d

OpenStudy (rational):

d is wrong

OpenStudy (neer2890):

how?

OpenStudy (rational):

hmm

OpenStudy (neer2890):

it's partially correct as if n is negative then for very large value of n this inequality does not holds but here , we are asked only to pick the answer which represents the above statement.
