Question 46587
This is a terminology problem
quotient is what you get when you divide something by something
{{{a/b = q}}} for instance. q is the quotient
let x = the number they're talking about
x + 3 = three more than the number
x - 3 = three less than the number
{{{(x + 3) / (x - 3) = q}}} where q is the quotient
