Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- When we listen to the word "quotient", it means the solution to a division problem.
- An unknown number that has been multiplied by 2 is in the numerator because it came before the 7 in the statement.
- The number "7" is in the denominator because it came after the 2x in the statement.
- The word "is" represents an equal sign.
- The solution to the division problem (quotient) is 20.
If we put these clues together, we get 2x/7 = 20 as our translated equation.
Hence, our algebraic statement is 2x/7 = 20. The key is to listen to the statement.
