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

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

$8$
