Answer:

"The quotient of the opposite of a number squared and 3"  

Take "the opposite of a number squared" and call it y.  

So you get "The quotient of y and 3"  

This is y/3.  

Now what is y? "The opposite of a number squared"  

Take "The opposite of a number" and call it z.  

So y is "z squared"  

Replacing y, we get z^2 / 3  

But what is z? "The opposite of a number"  

Call "a number" x.  

The opposite of x is -x.  

So z is "-x"  

Replacing z, we get (-x)^2 / 3
