x/3 - 9 = 18 x = 81
x/(10-5) = 3 x/5 = 3 x = 3*5 = 15
x/3 - 2 = 9 x/3 = 11 x = 33
x/3
It is x/3 - 8
(20 + x)-3
x/3 - 9 = 18 x = 81
x/(10-5) = 3 x/5 = 3 x = 3*5 = 15
x/(10-5) = 3 x/5 = 3 x = 3*5 = 15
3/x
x/3 - 2 = 9 x/3 = 11 x = 33
x/3
It is x/3 - 8
2x/8; x = the number
If x/3 = 9, then x = 27.
quotient means the answer after dividing, so your question can be expressed as: (x/y)-2
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
