Given the statement:
The quotient of a number and six is the opposite of four.
Determine the number.
Explanation:
Opposite of 4 means -4
The quotient of a number and six means the operation of division is being used. This can be represented as,
x / 6 = -4
In order to find the value of x, we can multiply 6 on both sides of the equation to cancel out x/6.
x/6 (6) = -4(6)
x = -24
Final answer:
The missing number is -24.
