Question

Can someone help me out with this because i looked at all the videos that my teacher gave us and none of them explained it.

Answer 1

The meaning of;

$\frac{x}{4}$

In algebra, when there is an unknown number it is generally represented by a letter (such as x,y,z etc.)

The letters x in x/4 represents an unkown number.

So, x/4 represent the unknown number x divided by 4.

For example; if x=20, then;

$\frac{x}{4}=\frac{20}{4}=5$
