➪ What is the quotient of 7 and the difference of a number and 8?
[tex]\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}\diamond[/tex]
➪ First, the word "quotient" indicates that we divide.
✳︎ Here, we are asked to divide 7 by the difference of a number and 8.
➪ The word "difference" indicates that we subtract.
✳︎ Here, we are asked to subtract a number minus 8.
Let the number be x.
Since the difference of x and 8 means we subtract x minus 8, this expression looks as follows:-
[tex]\texttt{x-8}[/tex]
◈ Now, we are also asked to find the quotient of 7 and the difference of a number and 8, which equals [tex]\bold{x-8}[/tex].
As I said earlier, the "quotient" means we divide, so we divide 7 by [tex]\bold{x-8}[/tex].
So we conclude that the expression is:-
7÷(x-8)
Good luck.
