but how come 2 is divided by 3??

Answer 4

let the number be x
so what we have is
if 8 is subtracted from number then we have the new number x-8
and when it is divided by 3 it gives -6 as quotient ( i assume this is what u said )
therefore \[\frac{ x-8 }{3} = -6\]

Answer 11

A number is divided by 3

I would call the number x
this says
x/3 (it gives a quotient)

8 is subtracted from the quotient

that would be written

x/3- 8

you get -6.

that means
x/3 -8 = -6

can you finish ?
