Question options:
a.8 – n ÷ 3 = 18
b.n ÷ 3 – 8 = 18
c.8 = n – 3 ÷ 18
d.n ÷ (3 – 8) = 18

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{n}{3}-8=18$

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight less than the quotient of a number and 3 is 18.

Let the unknown number be 'n'

the quotient of a number and 3. For quotient we divide by 3

$\frac{n}{3}$

Eight less than the quotient of a number and 3

For eight less , we subtract 8 from the division

$\frac{n}{3}-8$

The above expression is equal to 18

Eight less than the quotient of a number and 3 is 18.

$\frac{n}{3}-8=18$
