The algebraic expression that represents the statement Eight subtracted from the quotient of twice a number and three is 2x/3 - 8
The mathematical statement is given as:
Eight subtracted from the quotient of twice a number and three.
Let the number be x.
So, the above mathematical statement can be rewritten as:
Eight subtracted from the quotient of twice of x and three.
Twice of x is represented as 2x
Eight subtracted from the quotient of 2x and three.
Quotient means division.
So, we have:
Eight subtracted from the quotient of 2x/three.
three means 3 and eight means 8.
So, we have:
8 subtracted from the quotient of 2x/3
Lastly, the statement becomes
2x/3 - 8
Hence, the algebraic expression that represents the statement Eight subtracted from the quotient of twice a number and three is 2x/3 - 8
