Question

Translate the sentence into an equation.

Four more than the quotient of a number and 8 equals 2.
Use the variable w for the unknown number.

Answer 1

4 + w/8 = 2

Explanation:

To Solve:

subtract 4 from each side to get:

w/8 = -2

cross-multiply to get:

w = -16

Check:

4 + (-16/8) = 2

4 + (-2) = 2

2 = 2
