What is 12 less than the quotient of 5 and a number?
X = number. 5/X - 12 ======
What is 3 less than the quotient of a number and 5?
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
5 less than a number?
"5 less than a number" can be represented as x - 5, where x is the unknown number. This expression indicates that you are subtracting 5 from the number. For example, if the number is 10, then 5 less than that number would be 10 - 5 = 5.
What number gives a result of -2 when 5 is subtracted from the quotient of the number and 4?
