The expression "a number" can be represented with any letter. Use, for instance, the letter n.

Then, the expression "The quotient of a number and 6" can be represented as:


(n)/(6)

9 more than the quotient of a number and 6 can be expressed as:


9+(n)/(6)

If that expression is equal to 3, then:


9+(n)/(6)=3

Which is an algebraic expression for "9 more than the quotient of a number and 6 is 3".
