Question

translate and solve:the Quotient of a number and 6 minus 3 is 1

Answer 1

Let x be the unknown number. Then the quotient of a number and 6 is:

$\frac{x}{6}$

To this be substract 3:

$\frac{x}{6}-3$

Now, this is 1, then:

$\frac{x}{6}-3=1$

Now we solve the equation,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{6}-3=1 \\ \frac{x}{6}=1+3 \\ \frac{x}{6}=4 \\ x=4\cdot6 \\ x=24 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, x=24.
