5+6/8 = ? Brendenking666 are you there?

the answer to this question is 5.75

answer:

solve: 9 more than the quotient of a number and 3 is 14

:

let x = "a number"

:

write what it says:

9 + x%2f3 = 14

subtract 9 from both sides

x%2f3 = 14 - 9

x%2f3 = 5

:

multiply both sides by 3, get rid of the denominator

x = 3*5

x = 15

;

:

check solution in original equation

9 + 15%2f3 = 14

9 + 5 = 14
