The expression x−8 is given. What is this expression translated into words?(1 point) Responses the quotient of 8 and a number x the quotient of 8 and a number x the quotient of a number x and 8 the quotient of a number x and 8 a number x less than 8 a number x less than 8 8 less than a number x 8 less than a number x

Answer 1

The expression \( x - 8 \) can be translated into words as "a number \( x \) less than 8" or "8 less than a number \( x \)". However, the first option is more accurate for the expression itself.

So, the correct response is: "a number \( x \) less than 8."
