Question

What is the expression and value of “six less than the quotient of a number and two, increased by ten” when n = 20?

Answer 1

`(n)/(2) - 6 + 10`

n=20; The value of the expression is 14

Explanation:

six less than means we're subtracting 6. So,

-6

the quotient means division. of a number and 2 means, the denominator is two. So,

`(n)/(2)`

increased by ten means we're adding 10. So,

+10

Now put it all together:

`(n)/(2) - 6 + 10`

Substitute n with 20:

`(20)/(2) - 6 + 10`

`10 - 6 + 10`

`4 + 10`

`14`
