6 is less than a number is greater than 4

You have to translate the math word problem to math.

"number" is any variable, so lets use x

"6 less" is - 6

"greater than" is >

"4" is obviously 4

x-6>4

if you need to solve for x as well, you would need to get it by itself. so add 6 to both sides (we are trying to get rid of 6 on the side with the x, so to get - 6 to zero we had 6, and one thing we do on one side you do on the other).

6 + 4 = 10

so x=10
