Question

11 subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 is -13

Answer 1

Answer:

n/5 - 11 = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

We must do the division first, before the subtraction:

"the quotient of a number and 5" is n/5."

"11 subtracted from this result" comes out to   n/5 - 11 = -13.

This is the answer.  We were not asked to simplify it.  But if we want to simplify it, we add 11 to both sides, obtaining   n/5 - 2.
