Answer:
The expression is 9(n + 8) - 6, the value is 111 ⇒ answer A
Explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- We have a statement:
" six less than nine times the sum of a number and eight"
- When we solve we will start by the last part
- The last part is the sum of a number and 8
- Assume that the number is n
∵ The sum is the answer of adding
∴ The sum of a number and eight is ⇒ n + 8
- Nine times the sum
∵ The sum is n + 8
∵ Nine times means multiply the sum by 9
∴ Nine times the sum is ⇒ 9(n + 8)
- Six less than nine times the sum
∵ Nine times the sum is 9(n + 8)
∵ Six less than means subtract 6 from nine times the sum
∴ Six less than nine times the sum is ⇒ 9(n + 9) - 6
* The expression is 9(n + 8) - 6
- Lets evaluate the expression when n = 5
∵ 9(n + 8) - 6
∵ n = 5
∴ The value = 9(5 + 8) - 6
∴ The value = 9(13) - 6
∴ The value = 117 - 6
∴ The value = 111
* When n = 5 the value of the expression is 111
