Let x represent the height of Cassandra's younger brother.
Since Cassandra measured her height as 63 inches, this can be represented as 63.
According to the problem, Cassandra's height is 6 inches less than 3 times her younger brother's height. This can be expressed as 3x - 6.
Putting it all together, the equation in the form px + q = r to represent this problem is:
3x - 6 = 63
Cassandra measured her height as 63 inches. That is 6 inches less than 3 times her younger brother’s height. How tall is her younger brother?
