Question

The quotient of 6 raised raised to the power of 3 and 9, decrease by 5

Answer 1

19

Explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

Given:

The value of 'x' is defined as the quotient of 6 raised to the power of 3 and 9, decrease by 5.

The quotient of
`6^3` and 9 is given as:

`Q=(6^3)/(9)\\Q=(6* 6* 6)/(9)\\Q=(216)/(9)=24`

Now, the quotient is decreased by 5. So, the number 'x' is:

`x=Q-5`

Plug in 24 for 'Q' and solve for 'x'. This gives,

`x=24-5\\x=19`

Therefore, the number defined by the statement "the quotient of 6 raised to the power of 3 and 9, decrease by 5" is 19.
