What is the quotient of twice a number and 9 is seven less than the number?

We know that quotient is the answer to division problem. So let's call our missing number x. So let's convert this word problem into numbers.
2x = x-7
9
Personally, I don't really like working with fractions. So I'll multiply both sides by the common denominator of 9.
9•2x = 9(x-7)
9
The 9s on the left side will cancel, and we'll distribute the 9 on the left side.
2x = 9(x-7)
2x = 9x-63
Now we'll get our variable on one side.
2x = 9x-63
-9x=-9x
-7x=-63.
We'll now divide both sides by -7, and get our answer.
x=9
We can now check our answer by plugging 9 in for x.
18 = 9-7
9
Simplify:
2 = 2
Therefore, our answer is correct.

How do you write the quotient of twice a number and six is four less than three times the same number?
the quotient of twice a number and six is.... 2x/6 four less than three times the same number is .... 3x-4 So the equation would be 2x/6=3x-4

What is the algebraic expression for the quotient of 2 less than twice a number and 4?
To say that 2 is less than twice a number and four means, algebraically, that 2 < 2x + 4. This simplifies to -2 < 2x or x > -1. This is not a quotient, however, so perhaps your question was not clearly worded.
