Given the statement:
Twelve more than the quotient of a number and two, decreased by four
Determine the value of the number when n = 4
Solution:
We start first by translating the statement in numerical form.
Twelve more than the quotient of a number and two, decreased by four
= 12 + (n/2 - 4 )
Substitute 4 to the value of n.
= 12 + (4/2 -4)
= 12 + (2 -4)
=12 -2
= 10
Final answer:
The value of the number is 10
