Answer: [tex]\frac{1}{4}n-2[/tex]
This is the same as [tex]\frac{n}{4} - 2[/tex] and it is also equivalent to [tex]0.25n-2[/tex]
=====================================================
Explanation:
n is some placeholder for a number
one fourth of that number is [tex]\frac{1}{4}n[/tex] which is the same as [tex]\frac{n}{4}[/tex] or [tex]0.25n[/tex] since 1/4 = 0.25
From here, we subtract off 2 to get [tex]\frac{1}{4}n-2[/tex] as one possible final answer.
