What is the value of the expression “eight more than three times the difference of four and a number” when n = 3?

Answer 1

The value of the expression would be 11.

3 (4 - n) + 8

When n = 3:

3 (4 - 3) + 8

3 (1) + 8

3 + 8

11

Answer 2

11

Explanation:

Let the number is n

Then as per statement of the question

"Eight more than three times the difference of four and a number"

Expression will be [3(4-n)+8]

Now for n = 3

Value of the expression will be [3(4 - 3 ) +8]

= [ 3 × 1 + 8 ]

= 11
