whats 6less than a number

Question

I have a few of these questions like..

2 times the quotient of a number and two

4 times the difference of a number and 8

Answer 1

I'm not sure if the questions are incomplete because no directions were provided. I am assuming the question is to write an expression that follows the description. I will refer to "a number" as "x"

 

What is 6 less than a number: x-6

2 times the quotient of a number and 2: 2*(x/2)

4 times the difference of a number and 8: 4*(x-8)
