Question

How do you translate the words into algebraic expressions: he quotient of three times a number and six?

Answer 1

`(3x) / 6`

Explanation:

The quotient tells you that you must use division of a quantity. This quantity is 3 times a number and six. For the "number" set a variable, like `x`. "And" usually means addition, so you may think the result is `3x + 6`. But remember that you want the quotient, so this would NOT be the case. For the quotient, which involves division, you want `(3x) / 6`. Therefore, this would be your answer.
