Question

Write an expression for - add 5 to the quotient of z and 6, then subtract 8 from the result

Answer 1

The answer would be z/6 + 5 - 8.

Explanation:

Quotient means the answer to a division problem, so we know that z and 6 must be divided. Then it tells us to add 5 to the quotient and then subtract 8 from the total. Because of PEMDAS no parentheses are needed.
