Question

7 more than the quotient of a number is 2 and 9

Answer 1

Given:

Consider the given statement is "7 more than the quotient of a number and 9 is 2".

To find:

The value of the unknown number.

Solution:

Let be the unknown number.

Quotient of a number and 9:
`(x)/(9)`

7 more than than the quotient of a number and 9:
`(x)/(9)+7`

It is given that, 7 more than the quotient of a number and 9 is 2.

`(x)/(9)+7=2`

Multiply both sides by 9.

`x+63=18`

`x=18-63`

`x=-45`

Therefore, the unknown number is -45.
