Question

the quotient of number and -6 increased by two is 14​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

The quotient of number and -6 is written as :

$\dfrac{x}{-6}$

Now the quotient is increased by 2 i.e.

$\dfrac{x}{-6}+2=14$

Now we can solve it as follows :

Subtract 14 from both sides,

$\dfrac{x}{-6}+2-14=14-14\\\\\dfrac{x}{-6}-12=0\\\\\dfrac{x}{-6}=12\\\\x=-72$

So, the value of x is equal to -72.
