verbal translation of 3x - 2 = -4

Sagot :

What does the x represent? times or variable?

If times, it's three times negative two equals to negative four
Thrice a number less than two is equal to negative four.
Thrice a number subtracted by two is equal to negative four.
Thrice a number and two has a difference of negative four.

Those three are some examples :D I suggest you to memorize the verbal translations. It's easy anyway :)
