x/2 = -25

Multiply by 2

x = -50

Answer 2

Answer:

The required quotient of the number is -50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Ten increased by the quotient of a number and 2 is -15.

To find : The quotient of the number ?

Solution :

According to question,

Ten increased by the quotient of a number and 2 is -15.

i.e. $10+\frac{x}{2}=-15$

$\frac{20+x}{2}=-15$

$20+x=-15\times 2$

$20+x=-30$

$x=-30-20$

$x=-50$

Therefore, The required quotient of the number is -50.
