Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:
`(x)/(3) -2`

Explanation:

Let panther scores x points.

Therefore, one-third of the points that the Panthers scored =
`(x)/(3)`

Thus, 2 less than one-third of the points that the Panthers scored = one-third of the points that the Panthers scored-2 =
`(x)/(3) -2`

Which is the required algebraic expression.
