Hi,
For this expression we have a key word to help us. When we see less than in an expression that always means our operation is subtraction. We are going to define a variable for the height. We will use h as our variable to represent the height. Since it is asking for an expression to represents six inches less than her height, our expression is h-6. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions. :)
