Question

Ten less the quotient If number and 3 is 6

Answer 1

Quotient of a number and 3 = x/3

Ten less the quotient of a number and 3 will equal 6

So...

10 - x/3 = 6

+ x/3 +x/3

10 = x/3 +6

-6 - 6

3 × 4=(x/3) × 3

12 = x

Answer 2

The number is 48

Explanation:

The number be x

Quotient of the number and 3 : x/3

Ten less the quotient of the number and x : x/3 -10

`(x)/(3)-10=6\\\\(x)/(3)=6+10\\\\(x)/(3)=16\\\\x=16*3\\\\x=48`
