Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Convert words into an expression

The quotient of 9 and a number added to 30 is 33

30 + (n / 9) = 33

Step 2:  Subtract both sides by 30

30 + (n/9) - 30 = 33 - 30

n/9 = 3

Step 3:  Multiply both sides by 9

n/9 * 9 = 3 * 9

n = 27

Answer:  The number is 27
