Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{-8}{x+3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find an algebraic expression for the given statement i.e. "the quotient of negative eight and the sum of a number and three".

Let the number be x. Quotient means to divide. It means we need to divide -8 and the sum of x and 3.

So, we can write it as follows :

$\dfrac{-8}{x+3}$

Hence, this is the required solution.
