Question

The quotient of 5 plus a number d and negative 2 is 14. Write an equation

Answer 1

quotient means division

(5 + d) / -2 = 14

Answer 2

Let

d-------> the number

we know that

The equation that represent the situation is

`(5+d)/(-2) =14`

Solve for d

Multiply by
`-2` both sides

`5+d=14*-2`

`5+d=-28`

Subtract
`5` both sides

`5+d-5=-28-5`

`d=-33`

therefore

the answer is

The equation is equal to
`(5+d)/(-2) =14`

The value of d is
`-33`
