Question

Translate the sentence into an equation.

Seven more than the quotient of a number and 6 is equal to 2.
Use the variable x for the unknown number.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's break down the problem:

Quotient = result obtained by dividing one quantity by another

So its division of x (a number implying variable) by 6

Then it says equal to 2 so we can piece together an equation like this

x/6 = 2

Then we use algebra to solve it

6(x/6)= (2)6

x = 12

So 12 is the unknown number
