Question

When you subtract the quotient of 18 and 2 from the sum of 22 and 9, what do you get?

Answer 1

`22`

Explanation:

The quotient of `18` and `2` is `18-:2 = 9`

The sum of `22` and `9` is `22+9=31`

Subtracting the quotient we get: `31-9 = 22`

The whole expression described in the question can be written in symbols as:

`(22+9)-(18-:2)=31-9=22`
