For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
x: unknown number that belongs to the real numbers.
We then have the following expression:
the quotient of nine and the sum of a number and one
By writing the expression algebraically we have:

(9)/(x+1)
Therefore, the expression is equivalent to:
9 over x+1
Answer:
the following best describes the English expression:
D. 9 over x+1
