Answer 2

Answer: n/6 - 25

Explanation:

We can use the vairiable n to represent the unknown number.

Because the question asks ofr the quotient of n and six, we can write the term as n/6

Because the question also asks for 25 less then that term, we can write the whole statement as: n/6 - 25 .

Therefore, the algebraic expression to represent the phrase Twenty-five less than the quotient of a number and six is n/6 - 25.

Hope this helps and good luck! :D
