<u>Answer:</u>
- Translation: 2x/7 = 20
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- <em>When we listen to the word "quotient", it means the solution to a division problem. </em>
- <em>An unknown number that has been multiplied by 2 is in the numerator because it came before the 7 in the statement. </em>
- <em>The number "7" is in the denominator because it came after the 2x in the statement. </em>
- <em>The word "is" represents an equal sign.</em>
- <em>The solution to the division problem (quotient) is 20. </em>
<u><em>If we put these clues together, we get 2x/7 = 20 as our translated equation.</em></u>
<u>Hence, our algebraic statement is 2x/7 = 20. The key is to listen to the statement. </u>
