how i got 32 as an answers- you work backwards.
25-17= 8
8*4= 32
write the equation with the answer.
32 divided by 4= 13
13+17=25
=P

Not sure what a quotient is :P But if its the number that has been divided by 4 then the answer is 32?
If the quotient is the number that has been divided by 4, this is how i worked it out. The different between 17 and 25 is 8. So 25 - 17 = 8. And because that number was divided by 4, you now need to times it by 4 to get your answer. So 8 x 4 = 32.

Let x be the number; Let y be the quotient;
x/4=y
y+17=25 transpose the number to find the value of y;
y=25-17
y= 8;
substitute y=8;
x/4=8
x=8*4
x=32
