Question

Six more than the quotient of a number squared and three

Answer 1

Mixing math with words can be scary, but hopefully I can make it a little easier for you!

First, we have six MORE than something. More than translates to addition in math. So right off the bat we have:

6 +

Next we are dealing with a "quotient". A quotient is the answer we get from a division problem. In this example we are dividing a number that is squared (which means it has an exponent of 2) and 3. For our "number" we are going to assign a variable which is just a letter that stands in place of the missing number (let's just use "x"). Adding this to what we have already our final answer is now:

6 + x² ÷ 3

There you have it! If you need any additional help don't hesitate to reach out.

Answer 2

n², number squared

n² / 3, quotient of number squared and three

(n² / 3) + 6, and six more than that

Answer 3

N^2/3 + 6

quotient means DIVIDE

Answer 4

"Six more" translates into +6

"Quotient" translates into division

"A number squared" means an unknown number, x, is squared: x²

It is also going to be the dividend (or numerator) of the quotient

"And three" is the divisor (or denominator)

Putting the pieces together gives us: x²/3 + 6
