Answer:
The expression = [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]
Value of the expression = 4 (when y is 20)
Step-by-step explanation:
Quotient simply means the result you get when you divide two numbers. Thus, dividend (the numerator) ÷ divisor (the denominator) = quotient.
From the information given to us here,
the dividend = 40
the divisor = y - 16
The quotient = [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]
There, the expression would be [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]
Find the value of the expression when y = 20.
Plug in 20 for y in the expression and evaluate.
[tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{40}{20 - 16} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{40}{4} = 10 [/tex]
The value of the expression, when y is 20, is 4.
