Question

Six subtracted from the sum of four and a number

Answer 1

Let's call this unknown number, x.

So we know that 4 and this number, x, are going to be added together and 6 is going to be subtracted from it. Therefore we can write the expression:

`(4+x)-6`

Since we cannot proceed any further without knowing either the value of x or what the expression equals, this is as simplified as it can be.
