Question

2. Seven more than the quotient of a number and -2 is 6.
What is the answer

Answer 1

number is 2

Explanation:

let the number be x then the quotient of the number and - 2 is

`(x)/(-2)` ← 7 more means add 7 and equate to 6, that is

`(x)/(-2)` + 7 = 6 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

`(x)/(-2)` = - 1

Multiply both sides by - 2 to clear the fraction

x = 2

Answer 2

n/-2 + 7 = 6
n/-2 = -1
n = 2
