Question

The quotient of thrice a number and the number Translate into a variable

Answer 1

Ok, so

Here we have the expression:

The quotient of thrice a number and the number.

First, let "x" be the number.

If "x" is the number, the sentence "thrice the number" can be written as 3x.

Now, the quotient of thrice a number (3x) and the number (x), will be:

`(3x)/(x)`

If we simplify, this is 3.
