Answer:
i think the answer is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
"three less than the quotient of 6 and a number (n=3) increased by nine"
(6÷3)-3+9
the quotient of 6 and 3 (6÷3) is 2
three less than 2: 2-3 which equals -1
increased by nine: -1+9 (which is also the same as 9-1) is 8
please don't hesitate to ask for clarification! hope i helped!
Answer:
Option 3 - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Expression "three less than the quotient of six and a number, increased by nine" when n = 3.
To find : What is the value of the expression ?
Solution :
Writing the expression in terms of n,
Expression "three less than the quotient of six and a number, increased by nine"
[tex]((6\div n)-3)+9[/tex]
When n=3,
[tex]((6\div 3)-3)+9[/tex]
Solving the expression,
[tex]((6\div 3)-3)+9=(2-3)+9[/tex]
[tex]((6\div 3)-3)+9=(-1)+9[/tex]
[tex]((6\div 3)-3)+9=8[/tex]
The value of the expression is 8.
Therefore, Option 3 is correct.
