Answer:

-30

Explanation:

The word "quotient" means that we have a division problem. A "quotient" is the answer to a dividing problem.

When they say "a number" that is the variable, because we don't know what number.

"is" means equals.

So here is our equation. Solve it.

x/-5 = 6

Multiply both sides by -5.

x = -30
