Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

If Fiona's age is x, Dan and Gavyn's ages respectively are x + 8 and x - 9. We can write:

x + x + 8 + x - 9 = 56

3x - 1 = 56

3x = 57

x = 19

The eldest is Dan (because x + 8 > x and x + 8 > x - 9). His age is x + 8 = 19 + 8 = 27.

What is the value of the expression “three less than the quotient of ten and a number, increased by six” when n = 2?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step 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:

\frac{10}{n}+6

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

(\frac{10}{n}+6)-3

When we substitute n=2, we get:

(\frac{10}{2}+6)-3

Divide to get:

(5+6)-3

Add to get:

11-3

Subtract

8
