Question

Ten less the quotient If number and 3 is 6

Answer 1

Answer:

Quotient of a number and 3 = x/3

Ten less the quotient of a number and 3 will equal 6

So...

10 - x/3 = 6

    + x/3      +x/3

10 = x/3 +6

-6              - 6

3 × 4=(x/3) × 3

12 = x

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 48

Step-by-step explanation:

The number be x

Quotient of the number and 3 : x/3

Ten less the quotient of the number and x :  x/3 -10

$\frac{x}{3}-10=6\\\\\frac{x}{3}=6+10\\\\\frac{x}{3}=16\\\\x=16*3\\\\x=48$
