The answer is: $8 - n$ $8- n$

Explanation:

The variable could be anything I just put $n$ $n$ because number starts with n. The expression: you are subtracting a number from eight. When they say difference or quotient the number that comes first in the phrase comes first in the expression.

Is this what you meant? I hope it helped!
