Question

What is the value of the expression “three less than the quotient of ten and a number, increased by six” when n = 2?

Answer 1

(10/n - 3) + 6...when n = 2
(10/2 - 3) + 6 =
(5 - 3) + 6 =
2 + 6 =
8 <=

Answer 2

The value of expression is 8.

Explanation:

According to the question, the expression can be written as:

`((10)/(n)-3)+6` where n is the number.

Now, substituting the value of n=2 in the above expression, we get

=
`((10)/(2)-3)+6`

=
`(5-3)+6`

=
`(2)+6`

=
`8`

Thus, the value of the given expression is 8.
