Question

Write the following statement as an equation.
The number of students in my class is 46, which is six less than four times the number of the benches in my class. (Assume that the number of benches is x.)

• A. 4x + 6 = 46
• B. 4x - 6 = 46
• C. 6x + 4 = 46
• D. 6x - 4 = 46

Answer 1

The correct option is B

4x - 6 = 46

If we take the number of benches as x, then four times that number is 4x. Six less than 4x is 4x - 6. So, the answer is 4x - 6 = 46.
