Define a variable and write an expression for the prhase. the quotient of 6 times a number and 16

Let x be the unknown number. This means that "six times a number" becomes 6x. Finally, we want to compute the quotient between this quantity and 16, which leads to

a² + b²= c²

24² + 7² = c²

c= 25

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
