Question

Translate the quotient of y and two is equal to eight subtracted from twice y

Answer 1

The quotient means division. So we have one part of the equation. 
y/2 (sorry, the variable thing doesn't work)
Then we know there is an equal mark and the other equation would be 2y-8 because y is multiplied two times and it is subtracted by eight. And then it says it is equal to, so we hate the final equation: y/2=2y-8.
Thank you for the points! Hope I helped!
