Since we do not know what the asked-for number is, we can assign it the value of "X". We will solve for "X". The term "more than" means that we have to add. The term "less than" means subtract. The term "is" means the equal sign (=). Now we can set up the needed equation:
X + 5 = 25 -6
First, we will combine the numbers to the right of the = sign and we will rewrite the equation:
X + 5 = 19
Next, we subtract 5 from both sides:
X + 5 - 5 = 19 - 5
Now combine the numbers on both sides:
X = 14
We have just solved the problem
Math is our friend and we use it every day.

25-6=19
14+5=19
so, 5 more than 14 is equal to 6 less than 25

I'd say
X+5=25-6
X+5=19
X=14

x+5=25-6
X+5=19
X=14

Ok...it's basically asking you to write it out like this :
x + 5 = 6 < 25
So I think it will be this:
x = 1 < 25
