Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The expression is 9(n + 8) - 6, the value is 111 ⇒ answer AStep-by-step explanation:* Lets explain how to solve the problem- We have a statement: " six less than nine times the sum of a number and eight"- When we solve we will start by the last part- The last part is the sum of a number and 8- Assume that the number is n∵ The sum is the answer of adding∴ The sum of a number and eight is ⇒ n + 8- Nine times the sum∵ The sum is n + 8∵ Nine times means multiply the sum by 9∴ Nine times the sum is ⇒ 9(n + 8)- Six less than nine times the sum ∵ Nine times the sum is 9(n + 8)∵ Six less than means subtract 6 from nine times the sum∴ Six less than nine times the sum is ⇒ 9(n + 9) - 6* The expression is 9(n + 8) - 6- Lets evaluate the expression when n = 5∵ 9(n + 8) - 6∵ n = 5∴ The value = 9(5 + 8) - 6∴ The value = 9(13) - 6∴ The value = 117 - 6∴ The value = 111 * When n = 5 the value of the expression is 111
