Question

Three more than the quotient of a number and 8 is equal to 7 .

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• "Three more than" means +3
• "Quotient" means dividing, its asking for x ÷ 8
• And it says the answer is equal to 7

Your equation is:

$\frac{x}{8} + 3 = 7$

• Subtract 3 on both sides and get:

$\frac{x}{8} = 4$

• Multiply both sides by 8 because you wanna get rid of the fraction:

$x = 32$
