Question

Translate the sentence into an equation. Seven more than the quotient of a number and 6 is 5. Use the variable b for the unknown number.

Answer 1

Answer:

$7+\frac{b}{6}=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable denotes a symbol which takes various numerical values and a constant takes a fixed numerical value

Let $b$ denotes the unknown number.

The quotient of a number and $6$ is equal to $\frac{b}{6}$

Seven more than the quotient of a number and $6$ is equivalent to $7+\frac{b}{6}$

As seven more than the quotient of a number and 6 is 5,

the equation becomes $7+\frac{b}{6}=5$
