Question

Translate sentence into an equation. 1) Fifteen equals three more then six times a number2) Ten increased by the quotient of a number and 6 is 5

Answer 1

Using the variable x to represent "a number", we have that:

1) Fifteen (15) equals (=) three (3) more (+) than six times a number (6x)

So the equation is:

`15=3+6x`

2) Ten (10) increased by (+) the quotient of a number and 6 (x / 6) is (=) 5.

So the equation is:

`10+(x)/(6)=5`
