Answer:
-23
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the quotient of the numerical expression [tex]\frac{-48}{-8}[/tex] = 6.
Now, we want to find the value of x in the algebraic expression 6 + x = -17.
So, 6 + x = -17 → x = -17 - 6 → x = -23.
So, -23 should be added to 6 such that the sum is equal to -17.
i.e 6 + (-23) = -17.
Hence, -23 should be added to the quotient of [tex]\frac{-48}{-8}[/tex] so that the sum comes out to be -17.
