Question

9 less than the quotient of b and a number x

Answer 1

Quotient is basically the answer you get when you divide two numbers. For example, the quotient of 6 and 3 is 2 since, when I divide 6 by 3 I get 2.

Thus,

Quotient of b and a number x =
`(b)/(x)`

9 less than quotient of b and a number x =
`(b)/(x) - 9`
