[tex] \dfrac{n}{-4} = 9 [/tex]
[tex] n = 9 \times (-4) [/tex]
[tex] n = -36 [/tex]
When we hear the word "quotient" it indicates that we need to divide.
Reading it from left to right:
n divided by -4 = 9
Now solve for n.
n/-4=9
Multiplly both side by -4 to cancel the denominator.
Giving us:
n=-36
Check your answer:
36/-4 = 9 Yes. That checks out.
