The required quotient of the number is -50.

Explanation:

Given : Ten increased by the quotient of a number and 2 is -15.

To find : The quotient of the number ?

Solution :

According to question,

Ten increased by the quotient of a number and 2 is -15.

i.e.
`10+(x)/(2)=-15`

`(20+x)/(2)=-15`

`20+x=-15* 2`

`20+x=-30`

`x=-30-20`

`x=-50`

Therefore, The required quotient of the number is -50.
