Chapter MPS, Problem 1.7MPS

To determine

To Find: Algebraic equation to represent the given sentence

Answer to Problem 1.7MPS

  $x/y=x+y$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{The quotient of two numbers is equal to the sum of those numbers}\text{.}\end{array}$

Calculation:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{The quotient of two numbers is equal to the sum of those numbers}\text{.}\\ \text{⇒}\text{The algebraic equation for given statement is verfied below}\\ \text{⇒}\text{let }x=-4\\ y=2\\ \text{⇒}x/y=x+y\\ \text{⇒}\left(-4\right)/\left(2\right)=\left(-4\right)+2\\ \text{⇒}-2=-2\end{array}$

Conclusion:

The algebraic equation that represent the given sentence is shown in the calculation section
