Y=|x-7| because in order to go to the right you have to subtract the amount from x
This division question is asking how many 1/4 you can fit into 50 1/2.
We can fit 4 of them into 1 whole (4 x 1/4 = 1)
We can fit 8 of them into 2 wholes (8 x 1/4 = 2)
and so on.
But we have 50 1/2 wholes, so we would need 50 1/2 x 4.
The new number sentence is 50 1/2 x 4.
It really depends on what kind of problem. like if you are doing a word problem or whatever than you should read the question a couple times, underline key words, DECIDE which operation to use, refer to the question and see if it makes sense. Hope I helped :)
Then: Divide the first term of the numerator by the first term of the denominator, and put that in the answer. Multiply the denominator by that answer, put that below the numerator. Subtract to create a new polynomial.
