Let the number be [tex] \rm x [/tex]
4 less than < 6 times a number = 73
A/Q
[tex] \rm\implies \: 6x - 4 = 73 \\ \rm \implies \: 6x = 73 + 4 \\ \rm \implies \: 6x = 77 \\ \rm \implies \: x = \frac{77}{6} \\\\ \rm \therefore x = 12.83 [/tex]
Now, let's check it whether the value is correct or not.
{ Use BODMAS rule here }
Now come to the point [tex]\red ✓[/tex]
➝ 12.83 × 6 - 4 = 73
➝ 76.98 - 4 = 72.98 which is equal to 73.
As we know that if after decimal number exceeds 5 it is converted to its next number.
