emily is thinking of a number which she calls n. She finds 1/4 of a number and then subtracts 3

Question

write an expression to represent emilys number

Answer 1

To represent Emily's number \( n \) after she finds \( \frac{1}{4} \) of it and then subtracts 3, you can write the expression as follows:

\[ \frac{1}{4}n - 3 \]

This expression indicates that she takes one-fourth of her number \( n \) and then subtracts 3 from that result.
