What is the product of a number and six less 12 is 72

Product means answer to a multiplication problem, a number can be expressed variable, n,. and it is 6 less than 12 (6-12) and equals = 72

SO

n * 6 - 12 = 72

Let's solve your equation step-by-step. n (6) - 12 = 72 Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. n (6) - 12 = 72 6n + - 12 = 72 6n - 12 = 72 Step 2: Add 12 to both sides. 6n - 12 + 12 = 72+12 6n = 84 Step 3: Divide both sides by 6. 6n 6 = 846 n = 14
