d.n ÷ (3 – 8) = 18

Verified Answer :

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.

\(\frac{n}{3}-8=18\)
