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

Given that three less than the quotient of ten and a number, increased by six

Let n be a number.

A quotient of ten and a number can be represented as follows.

`(10)/(n)`

three less than the quotient of ten and a number

Subtract 3 from the quotient of ten and a number.

`(10)/(n)-3`

three less than the quotient of ten and a number, increase by six.

Add 6 to the three less than the quotient of ten and a number.

`(10)/(n)-3+6`

Substitute n=2, we get

`(10)/(2)-3+6=5-3+6=11-3=8`

The answer is 8.
