the quotient of 4 and the difference of 7 and a number

Answer 1

Hello Aidan,

"The quotient of... and..." means that you are dividing the first "thing" by the second "thing." Here, you are dividing 4 by the difference between 7 and a number.

In other words: in the numerator you will have: 4

In the denominator you will have: the difference between 7 and a number: if x is that number, the difference is 7 - x

The final answer will be: 4/(7-x)

4

___

7-x
