16n A number, n, is multiplied by 6....We get: 6n
...The product is increased by 24We get: 6n + 24
...Finally, the entire quantity is divided by 3.We get: (6n + 24)/3
Check answer choices....not there. We need to simplify.
Use the rule that says:
(a + b)/c = a/c + b/cSo, (6n + 24)/3 = 6n/3 + 24/3
= 2n + 8
