8less than the quotient of 42 and a number?

The required expression is .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x.

We need to find an expression for the given statement "8 less than the quotient of 42 and a number".

y = Quotient of 42 and a number = .

8 less than the number y = y - 8

8 less than the quotient of 42 and a number is

Therefore the expression for the given statement "8 less than the quotient of 42 and a number" is .

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)
