From the question, we were told to find the value of three less than the quotient of six and a number increased by nine.

When n = 3.

We are to find the value of the expression.

First let's write the expression in terms of n.

recall that the expression is "three less than the quotient of six and a number, inc reased by nine".

((6 / n) - 3) + 9

We have n = 3

((6 / 3) - 3) + 9

Now let's solve the expression:

((6/3) - 3) + 9 = (2 - 3) + 9

((6/3) - 3) + 9 = (-1) + 9

((6/3) - 3) + 9 = 8

Therefore, the value of the expression is 8

So, the correct option is the third option which is 8.
