The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!

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

Nine less than twice a number equals the same number increased by four?
4 >= x / 2.1
Let's denote the number as x. The quotient of the number and 4 is x/4. Five less than this quotient would be (x/4) - 5. The equation we have is (x/4) - 5 = 15. By solving this equation, we find that x = 80.
The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!
The expression "the quotient of two and a number xxx" can be represented as 2 / xxx. Nine less than this quotient would be 2 / xxx - 9.
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.
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
