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.
To express this as an algebraic sum, this would be equal to 7x - 10.
It is considered an inequality.
It's seven
The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!
9
x / (2y - 7)
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
3a-6x2
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.

The answer is 11 !

5+5=1010-7=3the answer is 3
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.
