Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate n₂ + (n₀ * n₁ - n₁ * n₂) / (n₀ + n₁).

• n₂ + (n₀ * n₁ - n₁ * n₂) / (n₀ + n₁)

• Evaluate n₀ * n₁ = 240

  n₂ + (240 - n₁ * n₂) / (n₀ + n₁)

• Evaluate n₁ * n₂ = 48

  n₂ + (240 - 48) / (n₀ + n₁)

• Evaluate 240 - 48 = 192

  n₂ + 192 / (n₀ + n₁)

• Evaluate n₀ + n₁ = 32

  n₂ + 192 / 32

• Evaluate 192 / 32 = 6

  n₂ + 6

• Evaluate n₂ + 6 = 10

  10
• The answer to the problem and the result of n₂ + (n₀ * n₁ - n₁ * n₂) / (n₀ + n₁) is 10
