Question

Nine more than the quotient of a number and is 5 and 2? use the variable b for the unknown number what would this be?

Answer 1

If this is supposed to say "9 more than the quotient of a number and 5 is 2" then:

Let "b" be the unknown number. That makes the quotient of the number and 5 is "b/5" and nine more than this is "b/5 + 9" and if this is 2 then:

b/5 + 9 = 2

To solve, subtract 9 from both sides, then multiply both sides by 5
