Question

5. The quotient of a number and 6 is -108. Write an equation to solve for the number.

Answer 1

you have to write the sentence out as a formula.

the quotient means to divide, "a number" is just what you call x, and the word "is" means equals. so then we write it all out

x/6=-108

Answer 2

\[\frac{ x }{ 6 }=-108\]

Answer 3

now you have to get the x by itself, so you have to multiply both sides by 6.
and you get
x=-108(6) which is x=-648

Answer 4
