Answer 1

the answer is D but it is written
$6 - \frac{1}{3} x$
The word decreased means to subtract but as the expression states 1/3 of a number, 6 is subtracted by 1/3 times whatever number X represents.

Answer 2

The expression that represents the word phrase 6 decreased by one-third of a number is D. 6 - 1/3x

Based on the information given, we have to subtract (1/3 × x) from 6. This will be:

= 6 - (1/3x)

= 6 - 1/3x

Therefore, the expression represents the word phrase 6 decreased by one-third of a number is D. 6 - 1/3x
