"3 less than" would be after the quotient of 20 and x."Less than" means subtraction. "quotient" means division .
So,the expression would have to be: (20÷3)-3
In other terms "twenty divided by three minus three." Any questions?

The word 'quotient' tells you that the two numbers will be divided. So, the quotient of 20 and x is \(\frac{20}{x}\). The phrase 'less than' means you're taking the first number (3) away from the second number (\(\frac{20}{x}\)). So, 3 less than the quotient of 20 and x is \(\frac{20}{x}\) - 3 .
