63/h-14

Practice makes perfect

The phrase less than indicates that we are performing a subtraction. ... -... The two terms we are subtracting are the quotient of two numbers and 14. Since the expression is 14 less than the quotient, it is the quotient we are subtracting from. Therefore, it should be on the left-hand side of the subtraction. quotient - 14 A quotient is the result of a division. The two numbers being divided are 63 and h. Note that it can be rewritten in a fraction form. & 63 divided by a number h & 63 ÷ h ⇔ 63/h Let's summarize what we have found. 14 less than the quotient of 63 and h 63/h - 14 Note that this is only one of multiple ways to algebraically express the given verbal expression.
