Question

Eight plus the quotient of a number and 3 is -2


bro someone help please

write n solve the equation to find the number ​

Answer 1

Answer: n=-30

Step-by-step explanation:

With what we are given in the description, we can find the missing number.

$8+\frac{n}{3} =-2$

We get this equation because 8 is adding the quotient of a number and 3. A quotient of a number and 3 is written as $\frac{n}{3}$ because n is dividing 3. When that is added to 8, we get -2. With this equation, we can solve for n.

$8+\frac{n}{3} =-2$           [subtract both sides by 8]

$\frac{n}{3} =-10$                [multiply both sides by 3]

$n=-30$

Now, we know that n=-30.
