6 more than the quotient of a number and 4 equals to 2

Answer 1

Step one:

Identify given information

Quotient of a number and 4 means let q be the quotient divided by 4

=q/4

6 more than the quotient of a number and 4 means you are adding 6 to the expression

so that means

6+q/4

When it says equals

write =2

Step 2:

Write the equation

In this scenario we are trying to set up equation for the given problem

So it will be

6+q/4=2

(Note it doesn't matter what letter of variable you choose)

Answer 2

The key to this is being able to translate words into algebraic expressions.

more that = addition (+)

quotient = division (/)

a number = x (variable)

equals =

So the given example is:

6 + x/4 = 2
