Question

Eight plus the quotient of a number and 3 is -2

bro someone help please

write n solve the equation to find the number ​

Answer 1

Answer: n=-30

Explanation:

With what we are given in the description, we can find the missing number.

`8+(n)/(3) =-2`

We get this equation because 8 is adding the quotient of a number and 3. A quotient of a number and 3 is written as
`(n)/(3)` because n is dividing 3. When that is added to 8, we get -2. With this equation, we can solve for n.

`8+(n)/(3) =-2` [subtract both sides by 8]

`(n)/(3) =-10` [multiply both sides by 3]

`n=-30`

Now, we know that n=-30.
