Question

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

Answer 1

Let the points scored by Panthers be x

We have to formulate " 2 less than one third of points that Panthers scored" into an algebraic expression.

Therefore, algebraic expression =
`((1)/(3) * x)-2`

=
`(x)/(3)-2`

So, the required algebraic expression is
`(x)/(3)-2`.
