Question

Translate the sentence into an equation.

Six more than the quotient of a number and 4 is equal to 8.
Use the variable x for the unknown number.

Answer 1

(n ÷ 4) + 6 = 8

Explanation:

Quotient means The answer when you divide' So we are working in the division.

n ÷ 4 is the division part

It says 'and' which can also mean addition. So we add 6. So far our equation is: (n ÷ 4) + 6 (Brackets are needed as we are dividing n by 4 and not dividing n by 4+6)

Lastly it says the answer must be 8 so we add that at the end. So the answer is:

(n ÷ 4) + 6 = 8
