Answer 1

Answer:
`((x-4))/(2)`

Explanation:

In algebra , We use algebraic expression to represent word phrase.

For example : 7 is added to p is written as "
`7+p` "

-8 is multiplied by p is written as "
`-8p` "

The statement : Suzy found the difference of x and 4 and then divided by 2.

First we express the difference of x and 4 as
`(x-4)`

Then, we express entire statement : "difference of x and 4 and then divided by 2" =
`((x-4))/(2)`

Hence, the algebraic expression to represent this word phrase:
`((x-4))/(2)`
