Answer 2

Answer:

The required expression is $\frac{42}{x}-8$.

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 = $\frac{42}{x}$.

8 less than the number y = y - 8

8 less than the quotient of 42 and a number is

$\frac{42}{x}-8$

Therefore the expression for the given statement "8 less than the quotient of 42 and a number" is $\frac{42}{x}-8$.
