Question

Write the algebraic expression for the following statement:

• 8 times ‘p’ taken away from one-fourth of ‘q’

Answer 1

$Step1$

$8$ times ‘$\text{'}p\text{'}=8\times p=8p$

$Step2$

$one-fourth$of $\text{'}q\text{'}=\frac{1}{4}\times q=\frac{q}{4}$

$step3$

8 times p taken aways remains $=(\frac{q}{4}-8p)$

Hence the algebraic expression will be $(\frac{q}{4}-8p)$
