Question

The quotient of number and -6 increased by two is 14​

Answer 1

x = -72

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

The quotient of number and -6 is written as :

`(x)/(-6)`

Now the quotient is increased by 2 i.e.

`(x)/(-6)+2=14`

Now we can solve it as follows :

Subtract 14 from both sides,

`(x)/(-6)+2-14=14-14\\\\(x)/(-6)-12=0\\\\(x)/(-6)=12\\\\x=-72`

So, the value of x is equal to -72.
