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!
