Let's decipher some of this "math language"

#color(white)(0)#

Quotient of #y# means something divided by something equals #y#

#color(white)(0)#

reduced by means to simplify something. That can mean by division or by subtraction. In this case, "reduced by" refers to both #6# and #8#.

#color(white)(0)#

So now let's see what we have:

A fraction that equals #y#, subtracted by #6# and divided by #8#

#(y-6)/8#
