Seven more than the quotient of a number and 2 is 10?

If seven more than the quotient of a number and 2 is 10, then the number is 6

Let the unknown number be x

A quotient of the number and 10 is x/10

Seven more than the quotient of a number is expressed as x/2 + 7

Equating the result to 10, will give:

x/2 + 7 = 10

Subtract 7 from both sides

x/2 + 7 - 7 = 10 - 7

x/2 = 3

x = 2* 3

x = 6

Hence the number is 6

what i would say the best answer is a. 40.5

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
