Algebra
The quotient of -20 and a number can be written as a division or a fraction. To solve equations, it's best-written as a fraction:
[tex]-\frac{20}{x}[/tex]Where x is 'the number', in this case, an unknown quantity
Similarly, the quotient of 4 and a number is:
[tex]\frac{4}{x}[/tex]We're assuming it's the same number as before.
Now we have to connect them with the plus sign because we have to increase. Thus, the final expression is:
[tex]-\frac{20}{x}+\frac{4}{x}[/tex]
