Chapter 4.5, Problem 2P

Write a function rule that represents each sentence.

7 more than the quotient of a number $n$ and 4 is 9.

To determine

To write: a function that represents the given statement.

Answer to Problem 2P

  $\frac{n}{4}+7=9$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The statement, “7 more than the quotient of a number n and 4 is 9”.

“Quotient of a number n and 4” is written as: $\frac{n}{4}$

Symbol for more than is “ $+$ ”.

Then “7 more than the quotient of a number n and 4” is written as: $\frac{n}{4}+7$

Now, the given statement is, “7 more than the quotient of a number n and 4 is 9”, this is translated as:

  $\frac{n}{4}+7=9$
