Question

"Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 is 18."

Answer 1

Answer: n/5 - 10 = 18: this would be the equation. Your answer would be 140.

Step-by-step explanation: Let consider the number as ‘X’

Quotient of a number and 5 can be written as

                        X divided by 5

Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 can be written as

                       (X divided by 5)-10

Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 is 18 can be written as

                       (X divided by 5)-10=18

  By solving the above equation, find ‘X’

                       (X divided by 5) = 18 + 10

                    X/5=28

                       X = 28 x 5 = 140
