<font size = 6 color = "red"><b>Edwin's solution:</b></font>
What is twice the quotient of 50 and the sum of a number y and 8?
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
First we look at the this underlined part:
</pre></font></b>
What is twice the quotient of 50 and <u>the sum of a number y and 8</u>?
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
    "the sum of a number y and 8" means "add y and 8", so that's
     y+8, so we put it in parentheses, (y+8), and replace those
     underlined words by (y+8): 
</pre></font></b>
What is twice the quotient of 50 and (y+8)?
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
Next we underline this part:
</pre></font></b>
What is twice <u>the quotient of 50 and (y+8)</u>?
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
    "the quotient of 50 and (y+8)" means "divide 50 by (y+8)",
     so we put 50 over (y+8), like this, {{{50/(y+8)}}} so we 
     put it in parentheses, {{{(50/(y+8))}}}, and replace those
     underlined words by {{{(50/(y+8))}}}:
</pre></font></b>
What is twice {{{(50/(y+8))}}}?
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
Now we just underline:
</pre></font></b>
What is <u>twice {{{(50/(y+8))}}}</u>?     
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
And of course "twice" means "2 times":

So we end up with 

{{{2(50/(y+8))}}} or

{{{100/(y+8)}}}
