Algebra

The quotient of -20 and a number can be written as a division or a fraction. To solve equations, it's best-written as a fraction:


-(20)/(x)

Where x is 'the number', in this case, an unknown quantity

Similarly, the quotient of 4 and a number is:


(4)/(x)

We're assuming it's the same number as before.

Now we have to connect them with the plus sign because we have to increase. Thus, the final expression is:


-(20)/(x)+(4)/(x)
