What operation does more than
represent?
6+5
We are asked to write an algebraic expression for the given verbal expression. The key phrase in the verbal expression is more than ...,
This indicates that we should add two things.
... + ...the quotient of15and3
and 6.
Since 6
comes first in the verbal expression, it should be on the left-hand side of the addition.
6 + the quotient of15and3
The quotient of 15 and 3 can be rewritten as a fraction.
6 + the quotient of15and3
6 + 15/3
Since 153=5, we can simplify the expression by substituting the exact value of the quotient.
6+15/3 → 6 +5
