Question

What is the value of the expression "six less than the quotient of a number and two, increased by 10" when n = 3?

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{5(1)/(2)}`

Explanation:

`n-the\ number\\\\\text{the quotient of a number and two}:\ (n)/(2)\\\\\text{the quotient of a number and two, increased by 10}:\ (n)/(2)+10\\\\\text{six less than the quotient of a number and two, increased by 10}:\\\\\left((n)/(2)+10\right)-6\\\\\text{Put n = 3 to the expression:}\\\\\left((3)/(2)+10\right)-6=\left(1(1)/(2)+10\right)-6=11(1)/(2)-6=5(1)/(2)`

Answer 2

Answer: let the number be n

so we have (n/2+10)-6

then we have 11.5-6 which is 5.5.
