As an algebraic expression it is: q-8
I believe it's q-3
-8 is less than 8
-8 is less than all positive numbers, including 8. -8 is 8 less than 0, and 0 is eight less than 8.
-12
The question is incomplete.
-8 < 8 Think of a thermometer scale. -10 degrees is colder than (+)10 degrees
8 less than a number would be written as 8 - 5. or 8 - A No! 8 less than a number, say X, would be X - 8.
18
8 - 13 = -5.
7.2 is less than 8.
6 is less than 8.
-10
