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

8

Explanation:

The given expression is "three less than the quotient of ten and a number, increased by six”

The quotient of ten and a number increased by six is translated into mathematical expression as:

`(10)/(n)+6`

Three less than the quotient of ten and a number, increased by six is

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

When we substitute n=2, we get:

`((10)/(2)+6)-3`

Divide to get:

`(5+6)-3`

Add to get:

`11-3`

Subtract

`8`
