Question

3 more than a number then divided the result by 8

Answer 1

Hey there!!

Let's take the number as 'x'

Three more than a number.

We will have to add 3 to our number.

.... x + 3

The result is divided by 8.

We shall divide the whole equation by 8.

Hence, the answer would be:

... (x+3)/8

Hope my answer helps!

Answer 2

We are given statement : 3 more than a number then divided the result by 8.

We need to write an algebraic expression for it.

Let us assume unknown number be n.

3 more than n = (n+3).

Now, we need to divide that result (n+3) by 8.

So, we would get (n+3) divided by 8 = $\frac{n+3}{8}$.

Therefore, final expression is $\frac{n+3}{8}.$
