Quotient means division, which is obvious by all the division answers.
It says "Quotient of 4 AND ..." which means that four will be on top and everything else will be on the bottom.
So now you have:
four over something unknown.
Reading the rest of the question, "the sum of a number and three"
Sum means addition, again obvious by the answer choices.
"a number" is an unknown, so we can set that to x
and this x is being added to by three, so therefore
x+3 would be in your denominator.
You final equation should look like this:;
OR answer choice A
