    A variable is something that does not have a fixed value (that is, it can have a value of 1, 2, 3 or any other number). It is often represented by a letter. The use of letters together with numbers in mathematics is algebra.

    The most common letter used to represent a variable is x. So, I'll make use of x here.

    We'll say, let x be the 'number' in your question.

    10 plus the quotient of a number and 15
    What is the quotient of a number and 15? That would be the result of dividing x by 15, so,

    Then, 10 plus that expression above?

    Can you continue? :)
