Answer:
The number is -32
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x, then 11 minus the quotient of a number and 8 is 15 becomes:
[tex]11 - \frac{x}{8} = 15[/tex]
We group similar terms to get:
[tex] - \frac{x}{8} = 15 - 11[/tex]
[tex]- \frac{x}{8} = 4[/tex]
Multiply both sides by -8 to get:
[tex]x = 4 \times - 8[/tex]
Simplify to get:
[tex]x = - 32[/tex]
