Translate the word phrase into a math expression. six less than eight times a number a. 6n – 8 b. 6 – 8n c. 8n – 6 d. 6 < 8n

I'm going to write the phrase sideways, OK. you can use this method if you need to.

six=6
less than= < or -
eight=8
times=x
(a) number=n

then you rewrite what you have beside the words.

6 {< or -} 8n

unless it says 'is less than', you put a subtraction sign. reword afterwords.

8n-6

that is your answer!

The correct answer is: b
