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!
