Answer:

x/4 -9 + 3

Explanation:

The question didn't state what it's increased by, but I'm working towards it being increased by 3, so.

From the question, we are asked that

'Nine less than the quotient of a number and four, increased by three'.

We start by assuming the number to be x

To start with, we write the quotient of the said number together with 4. x/4

Next, we then decrease the quotient by 9. x/4 - 9

Finally, we go ahead and increase the remaining number by 3. x/4 -9 + 3

Therefore, the expression we're looking for in the statement is.

x/4 -9 + 3
