Question

Six less than twice a number is 10

Answer 1

6-2x=10

Explanation:

6-2x=10 is the answer.

Six less than means 6-

Twice a number means 2 and the unknown value "x" or it can also be "y"(it can be any letter since it is an unknown value) but we usually use "x" in this case.

When we are given "twice a number" in a sentence it means that that number is unknown.

Less than twice a number means -2x

Less than thrice a number means -3x

So,

six less (6-)

than twice a number (2x)

is 10 (=10)

I know my explanation might be a little confusing sorry about that
