Question

How do you define a variable and write an algebraic expression for the phrase: 10 plus the quotient of a number and 15?

Answer 1

`10 + x-:15`

or

`10 + x/15`

Explanation:

Plus `10` means to add `10`. The quotient of a number and `15` means that the number is divided by `15`. Let `x` represent the number. The quotient of the number and `15` can be written as `x-:15` or `x/15`.
