@iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

What do you think? 'three less than' is subtracting 3. 'the product of six and a number' is multiplying 6 with 'x'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is A.

OpenStudy (sierra!):

is she right @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

No, and she's not supposed to give answers.

OpenStudy (igreen):

6 * x is the same as 6x

OpenStudy (igreen):

Now subtract 3 from it.

OpenStudy (sierra!):

This is not making any sense to me

OpenStudy (igreen):

Write 3 being subtracted from it..you don't really subtract it..you just show that it's being subtracted from 6x.
