Evaluate the expression described below if the number is –3.
The quotient of three times a number and the sum of the number and two.

Respuesta :

Quotient is the answer you get when you divide two numbers;
for example: the quotient of 6 and 3 is 2 since dividing 6 by 3 will get me 2.

Let the number be x. Therefore, the expression is,

[tex] \frac{3x}{x + 2} [/tex]

Now when the number x is -3,

[tex] \frac{3 * -3}{-3 + 2} = \frac{-9}{-1} = 9[/tex]

Hence, the answer is 9.
