Quotent is the result of a division

15/(a+5)=10

multiply both sides by (a+5)

15=10a+50

10a=-35

a=-3.5

How would you write this as an algebraic equation ten more than the quotient of a number and -2 is three?

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".

Why does a whole number divided by a fraction less than one have a quotient greater than the whole number dividend?

If you think about it, it makes sense. when you divide a whole number (call that number X) by any number less than it(call that Z), the quotient (answer) is smaller than the first number. For example, 10/2=5, 12/4=3. Also, the lower the Z number is (ignoring if it were 1), the higher the quotient is. Therefore, since fractions are lower than 0, the quotient will be higher than the X number.
