Any number that's −30 or less would fit.
-9
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 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.
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
It is considered an inequality.
Any number that's −30 or less would fit.
-9
The long division abstract method works with any number, including numbers that are less than one. The answer will also be a decimal, or if the number is a negative number, than the answer, or quotient will also be negative.
The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!
Dividing by a negative number reverses the sign of the quotient. For instance, if you divide a positive number by a negative number, the result is negative, which is smaller than the original positive number. Conversely, dividing a negative number by a negative number yields a positive result, which is larger than the original negative number. Hence, the operation effectively increases the value of the original number when the divisor is negative.

A negative number is less than a positive number. Think about it this way: a negative number is less than 0. A positive number is greater than 0. Therefore, a negative number must be less than a positive number.
Nine less than the quotient of two and a number ( x ) can be expressed mathematically as ( \frac{2}{x} - 9 ). This represents the result of dividing 2 by ( x ) and then subtracting 9 from that quotient.
