Question

What is the value of the expression “two less than six times the difference of a number and five” when n = 9?

Answer 1

The answer of the expression would be 22.

Answer 2

The value of expression is 22.

Explanation:

Given the statement “two less than six times the difference of a number and five” when n = 9. we have to find the value of expression formed by the above statement.

Difference of a number n and 5 gives (n-5)

Now, we have to write two less than 6 times the difference, we get the expression 6(n-5)-2

Here, the number n is 9

∴Value of expression is 6(9-5)-2=6(4)-2=24-2=22

Hence, the value of expression is 22.
