X = number. 5/X - 12 ======
x/y - 4 = 2
the equation is: (n / 8 ) - 5 = 9 the number is 112. 112 / 8 is 14 5 less than 14 is 9
To say that 2 is less than twice a number and four means, algebraically, that 2 < 2x + 4. This simplifies to -2 < 2x or x > -1. This is not a quotient, however, so perhaps your question was not clearly worded.
The quotient will be less than one.
9
The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
twelve
12+(16/x)
It will be greater.
9
The quotient is less than the fraction.
Any number below 6 has a quotient less than 1.
The quotient will be less. 1/2 ÷ 2 = 1/4
