Question

Can someone please help right now please!!!!!!

Answer 1

-23

Explanation:

We are given the quotient of the numerical expression
`(-48)/(-8)` = 6.

Now, we want to find the value of x in the algebraic expression 6 + x = -17.

So, 6 + x = -17 → x = -17 - 6 → x = -23.

So, -23 should be added to 6 such that the sum is equal to -17.

i.e 6 + (-23) = -17.

Hence, -23 should be added to the quotient of
`(-48)/(-8)` so that the sum comes out to be -17.
