Question

2 less than one-third of the points that the Panthers scored. How do you write this as an algebraic expression.

Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{x}{3} -2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let panther scores x points.

Therefore, one-third of the points that the Panthers scored = $\frac{x}{3}$

Thus, 2 less than one-third of the points that the Panthers scored = one-third of the points that the Panthers scored-2 = $\frac{x}{3} -2$

Which is the required algebraic expression.
