OK u have your sum which is adding....so if u have the sum of 3 and 4 then it's 7. IT is 3+4=7
The difference is subtracting. So if it's the difference of 4 and 3 then it's 4-3=1
The factor is multiplying. So what's the factor of 3 and 4....3x4=12
The quotient is dividing. So what's the quotient of 12 and 3.
12 over 3=4
SO the problem to your question it x over 2.

I'm in Algebra
x/2, 2/x,
An algebraic expression is a number, variable or combination of the two connected by some mathematical operation like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponents, and/or roots.
An algebraic expression is made up of the signs and symbols
You don't know what x is so in other math problems people use one for x but in this case you use x.quotient=division

x/2 is the answer.
the quotient is what you get when you divide one number by another. 6/3 = 2. 6 is called the dividend, 3 is calied the divisor, and 2 is called the quotient.
Since we do not know what x is the quotient is x/2.

um quotient means the answer of a division problem.....so i guess u would write x division sign and 2 or write x and 2 like a division problem
