Question

What is the value of “three less than the quotient of six and a number, increased by nine” when n = 3?

Answer 1

Answer:

  8

Step-by-step explanation:

  -3 + 6/n + 9

for n=3 is

  -3 + 6/3 + 9

  = -3 +2 + 9

  = -1 + 9

  = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

three less than the quotient of six and a number, increased by nine”  

we write the given statement in expression form

Let the unknown number be 'n'

quotient of six and a number is 6/n (for quotient we divide)

three less than 6/n means we need to subtract 3 from 6/n

6/n - 3

Finally, it is increased by 9

So expression becomes $\frac{6}{n} -3 +9$

find the value of the expression when n=3

Plug in 3 for n

$\frac{6}{3} -3 +9$

2 -3 +9 = 8
