For this case we have the following expression:
The Quotient of 40 and the difference of a number y and 16.
Writing the expression in algebraic form we have:
[tex] \frac{40}{y-16} [/tex]
We observe that the expression does not depend on the variable x.
Therefore, substituting the value of y = 20 we have:
[tex] \frac{40}{y-16} = \frac{40}{20-16} = \frac{40}{4} = 10 [/tex]
Rewriting:
[tex] \frac{40}{y-16} = 10 [/tex]
Answer:
the phrase as an expression is:
[tex] \frac{40}{y-16} [/tex]
For y = 20 the result is 10
