Answer 1

Apex !!!!!

C. A number divided by three minus fourteen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

a. A number divided by fourteen minus 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we begin, remember that:

a - b is read as "A" minus "b"

`(a)/(b)` is read as "a" divided "b"

Now, for our given:

`(x)/(14) - 3`

For the first term, we have a given number "x" divided by 14

For the second term, we have three

The operation between the two terms is minus

Combining the above, we can deduce that:

`(x)/(14) - 3`

is read as a number divided by 14 minus 3

Hope this helps :)
