I apologize once again for the mistake. The correct algebraic expression for the word phrase "the quotient of 9 less than x and 14" is C. (9-x)/14.
The algebraic expression for the word phrase "the quotient of 9 less than x and 14" is x-9/14.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D, x-9/14.
To obtain the algebraic expression for the word phrase "the quotient of 9 less than x and 14," we can break down the phrase into smaller parts and then translate each part into algebraic form.
Starting with "9 less than x," we write it as x - 9. This is because when you subtract 9 from a number, such as x, you subtract it from the larger number (in this case, x).
Next, we have "the quotient of x - 9 and 14." The word "quotient" means division, so we divide the expression x - 9 by 14.
Thus, the algebraic expression for "the quotient of 9 less than x and 14" is (x - 9) / 14.
Comparing this with the options provided, we can see that the correct answer is:
D. (x - 9) / 14
