6. e. Translate the sentence into mathematical symbols and use an equation.Five less than ybecomes y5,and six more than x + 1 becomes x+ 1 + 6. Putting both statements together results in the equation y5 x+ 1 + 6. This simplifies to y5 x+ 7. Since you need to find how much is xless than y, solvethe equation for xby subtracting 7 from both sides. Since xy12,xis 12 less than y, which is choice e.
