Question

Add 6 to the quotient of a number and 3 and the answer is 14

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

We want to find the "number".

First, the quotient of two quantities means the division between them. Questions tells us to "ADD 6" to the "Quotient of a number and 3". So let the number be "x". Hence, quotient of x and 3 is:

x/3

Then we add 6 to it, so it becomes:

(x/3) + 6

THis is equal to 14, so we will have:

(x/3) + 6 = 14

Doing cross-multiplication and algebra, we now can solve for the unknown number (x). Shown below:

`(x)/(3)+6=14\\(x)/(3)=8\\x=3*8\\x=24`

The number is 24
