Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate (n₀ + n₁ * n₂) / (n₁ - 1).

n₀ =	18
n₁ =	5
n₂ =	6

(n₀ + n₁ * n₂) / (n₁ - 1)
Evaluate n₁ * n₂ = 30
(n₀ + 30) / (n₁ - 1)
Evaluate n₀ + 30 = 48
48 / (n₁ - 1)
Evaluate n₁ - 1 = 4
48 / 4
Evaluate 48 / 4 = 12
12
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₀ + n₁ * n₂) / (n₁ - 1) is 12
