The quotient of 40 and the difference of a number y and 16 and y =20

The quotient of 40 and the difference of a number y and 16, when y = 20 is 10.

Given the following data:

In Mathematics, quotient simply means division i.e the division of a number by another number.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

The difference of a number y and 16:

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The expression " the quotient of and the difference of a number y and "  is equivalent to the algebraic equation

For ------> given problem

substitute the value of y in the equation

answer: the angel abc is 30°,and the abc is a triangle where the angel bac is 90°

so ac is the half of 24=12ft,and from the pythagorean theorem we find ba

ba=√bc^2-ac^2=√576-144=√432=12√3ft

so bac is 12+12√3=12(1+√3)ft
