    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
