Answer 1

Sample Response: Replace key words with variables, numbers, and operations. Less than is subtraction, and quotient is division. Order matters with subraction and division. The expression is

40

n

-13. To evaluate is the expression, substitute 2 in for the variable, and then use order of operations to simplify. The value when n = 2 is 7.

Explanation:

Answer 2

• 40/n - 13
• 7

Explanation:

Thirteen less than the quotient of forty and a number. Required equation:

• 40/n - 13

When n = 2 we have:

• 40/2 - 13 = 20 - 13 = 7
