What is the value of "three less than the quotient of six and a number, inxreased by nine when n=3

1. Whenever a problem says "a number," create a variable. Let's use n because it is what the problem said.

2. Create an expression that represents the scenario. Three less than means we will subtract three from the quotient we get. Quotient means the answer of a division problem. Increased by 9 tells you to add 9. Therefore, our expression should be 6 ÷ n - 3 + 9

3. Substitute n. We know that n is 3, so replace the n in the expression with 3.

4. Calculate the answer. Remember order of operations. The answer is 8.

You just need to add 32 to 14 and get 46.
