Question 24560
Let's try again.
The difference (means subtraction) of 8 and the quotient (means divide) of a number (x) and 6 (x/6) is (=) 9.  In algebrese:
{{{8 - (x/6) = 9}}} Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.
{{{-(x/6) = 1}}} Multiply both sides by -6.
{{{x = -6}}}

Check:
{{{8 - -6/6 = 8 - (-1)}}} = {{{8 + 1 = 9}}}
