Write the phrase as an expression.Then evaluate when x=5 and y=20. The Quotient of 40 and the difference of a number y and 16.

Sagot :

Quotient is the answer in division. Difference is the answer in subtraction.

40
----------
( y - 16)


40                      40
---------------  =    ------------  =  10
(20 - 16)               4

For this case we have the following expression:

The Quotient of 40 and the difference of a number y and 16.

Writing the expression in algebraic form we have:

[tex] \frac{40}{y-16} [/tex]

We observe that the expression does not depend on the variable x.

Therefore, substituting the value of y = 20 we have:

[tex] \frac{40}{y-16} = \frac{40}{20-16} = \frac{40}{4} = 10 [/tex]

Rewriting:

[tex] \frac{40}{y-16} = 10 [/tex]

Answer:

the phrase as an expression is:

[tex] \frac{40}{y-16} [/tex]

For y = 20 the result is 10
