Question

Translate into an equation and solve. Seven more than the quotient of a number and 2 is 10

Answer 1

7 + ( x divided by 2) = 10
                             x/2 = 10 - 7
                             x/2 = 3
                2 times x/2 = 3 times 2 
*you multiply the x/2 by 2 so that the 2 cancels off and you are left with x and you have to make sure that whatever you do to one side of the equation you have to do to the other side)
                              
                         x = 3 times 2
                         x = 6

hope this helps :)
