7+x/-2=6 is the way we write it.
When it says 7 more, that means add 7.
Quotient means we divide, so we must divide a number, call it x by -2 and this is x/-2. Then it say is 6 which means we write =6/
Now, to solve this equation, we could multiply both sides of the equation by -2.
-14+x=-12
x=-12+14=2.
So let's try it.
the quotient of 2 and -2 is -1
7 more than -1 is 6 and this is what we hoped it is.
When you change words into an equation, it is always a good idea to try it with some numbers and make sure it works.
3a-6x2
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 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
x/17
N/8
You cannot write the quotient itself as an equation, but you can express a division operation and use an equation to express that the result of this operation (the quotient) is a specific value. For example, 16/8 =2.

It is n/6.
n/5
10 + (n/-2) = 3 If a sentence uses "more than", it is referring to addition. If it says "the quotient of ____ and ____", then it is the first number divided by the second one. "Is" is the same as "equals".
write a variable expresson to represent the phrase: the quotient of a number 3
7+N=9
3 divided by x
