Question

Write an algebraic expression that represents the following statement: “7 less than the quotient of 5 and n" *

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\boxed{\bold{\frac{5}{n}-7}}}$

$\hrulefill$

We'll start with the expression for the quotient of $5$ and $n$, which means we'll use division:

$\frac{5}{n}$

Now we find $7$ less than that, meaning we'll use subtraction:

$\frac{5}{n}\bold{-7}$
