Question

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number. Which answer represents this situation??

Answer 1

Answer:

Option b is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given condition : Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number.

Here, the number is x

The quotient of a number x and twelve is expressed as ,  $\frac{x}{12}$

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is expressed as,  $\frac{x}{12}-7$

Five times the number mean, $5x$

Therefore, we have an equation in the form of x  from the given condition as:

$\frac{x}{12}-7=5x$ .

Answer 2

The answer would be the letter b
