15 added to the quotient of 8 and a number is 7.

Take this algebraic expression in pieces:

  • The phrase a number means an arbitrary variable. Let's call it x.
  • The quotient of 8 and a number: 8/x
  • 15 added to this quotient: 8/x + 15
  • The word is means an equation, so we set 8/x + 15 equal to 7
8/x + 15 = 7
