Question

The quotient of a number and negative five plus one is at least two

Answer 1

Let's let x represent "the number". Then the quotient of that number and negative five could be written as:

x/(-5)

Then let's add one ("plus one") to that expression:

x/(-5) + 1

The words"is at least" means greater than or equal to or the symbol >

So: x/(-5) + 1 > 2

This can be solved to find the possible values for x as well.
