Answer:


(x)/(2)-2.25=3.6+4x

Explanation:

two and twenty five hundredths less than the quotient of x and two is equal to the sum of three and six tenths and quadruple of x.

The unknown number is x. the quotient of x and two can be written as
(x)/(2)

two and twenty five hundredths can be written as 2.25

two and twenty five hundredths less than the quotient of x and two can be written as
(x)/(2)-2.25

The above expression is equal to the sum of three and six tenths and quadruple of x.

three and six tenths can be written as 3.6 and quadruple of x is 4x


(x)/(2)-2.25=3.6+4x

To answer the question above, we translate the word problem into mathematical equation. The left side of the equation is,
x/2 - 2.25 = 3.6 + 4x
The value of x from the equation is -1.67.
