If: x/8 +2 = 9 then x = 56
There are an infinite number of groups of numbers whose sum, difference, product, quotient etc. is equal to 40 . But there are not four numbers that equal 40. In fact, there is only one number that equals 40. The number is . . . . . 40 .
An expression has no equal sign whereas an equation does have an equal sign
The problem is incomplete as you wrote it. There needs to be a part in the problem where they tell you what 3 less than the quotient of number and 5 is equal to.The question as you wrote it is expressed as:(x/5)-3To solve for "x" you need to know what the equation is equal to.Example :If 3 less than the quotient of number and 5 is equal to (for example) 10, the equation will be expressed as:(x/5)-3= 10Adding 3 to each side of the equal sign produces x/5 = 13To get the "x" by-itself, you need to multiply both side of the equal sign by 5.(x/5)(5)=13(5)x = 65
