Let's denote Cassandra's brother's height as "x".
According to the given information, 63 inches is 6 inches less than 3 times her brother's height, which can be expressed as 3x - 6.
So, the equation in the form of px + q = r is:
3x - 6 = 63
cassandra measured her height as 63 inches. That is 6 inches less than 3 times her brothers height.how tall is her brother
write an equation in the form of px+q=r to represent this problem

it needs 2 be plus not minus
Apologies for the confusion. Let's modify the equation accordingly.
The height of Cassandra, denoted as "c", is 63 inches, which is 6 inches less than 3 times her brother's height. Therefore, we can represent Cassandra's brother's height, denoted as "b", as:
3b = c + 6
Rewriting this equation in the form of px + q = r, we have:
3b - c = 6
The height of Cassandra, denoted as "c", is 63 inches, which is 6 inches less than 3 times her brother's height. Therefore, we can represent Cassandra's brother's height, denoted as "b", as:
