Question

subtract 3 from c, then divide 8 by the result

Answer 1

c minus 3= c-3

divided by 8 = (c-3)/8

(c-3)/8

Answer 2

Based on how the problem is written, we are starting with c. Then we take 3 away. This gives us c - 3. Finally, we take 8 and divide it by the expression we got before. We have to use parentheses on c - 3 to keep it together, so you can write you answer in either of these two ways:

8 or 8 ÷ (c-3)

c - 3
