Answer: x-6 < -15
=======================================================
Explanation:
"six subtracted from x" translates to "x-6"
So the word problem updates to "x-6 is less than -15"
Then we replace the "is less than" with "<" without quotes.
---------
Extra info: If you want to solve for x, then we add 6 to both sides like so
x-6 < -15
x-6+6 < -15+6
x+0 < -9
x < -9
So any number smaller than -9 will work in place of x.
