1. Remember, the quotient is obtained by dividing one quantity by another. In the sentence it is stated that "the quotient of r and 14" which means: r divided by 14.
The sentence models 5 + r/14
2. We are to subtract 4 from the product of 3 and x. So part of the equation looks like: "3x-4". Since it is stated that 23 is the total sum, then the answer is: 3x - 4 = 23
