Question

Two more than the quotient of a number and 6
is equal to 8

Answer 1

36

Explanation:

"Two more" = + 2

"quotient of a number and 6" = n/6

"equal to 8" = = 8

Set the equation:

n/6 + 2 = 8

Isolate the variable n. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 2 from both sides.

n/6 + 2 (-2) = 8 (-2)

n/6 = 8 - 2

n/6 = 6

Isolate the variable n. Multiply 6 to both sides.

(n/6)(6) = (6)(6)

n = 6 * 6

n = 36

36 is your answer.
