Answer:

Here's an answer I used <3

Step-by-step explanation:

You would then get to 40/n because quotient means division, then 40/n-13 because the outcome is 13 below the quotient. You can divide 40 by 20 to get 20, then 13 to get 7 because it asks you to test n=2.

Answer:So you would start with 40/n because quotient means division and then it would be (40/n) - 13 (40 divided by n then minus 13) because the answer is thirteen less than the quotient of those numbers. since it wants you to evaluate for n=2 you would do 40/2 which is 20 then subtract 13 which is 7.

So write the expression as (40/n) -13 and when you evaluate just stick the 2 where the n is for (40/2) - 13

20 - 13

= 7

Step-by-step explanation: HOPE THAT THIS WILL HELP YOU ❤️
