The quotient of x increased by 13 and -7 = 4

Question

Please translate into an equation!!

Answer 1

The quotient of 2 numbers is the result of division. Our 2 numbers in this problem are x+13 and -7 and the quotient is 4. therefore, we can write this problem as

(x+13)/(-7)=4

To solve for x:

x+13=(4)(-7) multiply both sides by -7

x+13=-28

x=-28-13 subtract 13 from both sides

x=-41 solve for x
