Answer:
4x - 6 =15
Step-by-step explanation:
I will use "x" as our variable to represent the number we are trying to find.
Let's take the problem piece by piece.
Six less than four times a number.
If we are using x to represent our number, we know that when we do four times that number we are multiplying x times 4, which is the same as writing "4x."
Next we know that we are taking six less than 4x. Six less than means we will be subtracting 6 from our 4x, which is the same as writing 4x - 6.
Finally, we know that six less than 4x (4x - 6) equals 15. Now we have a full equation:
4x - 6 =15
