Question

Five more than the quotient of a number and 3 equals 2.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{n}{3}+5=2\ or\ n:3+5=2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{n}{3}+5=2\\\\\dfrac{n}{3}-\text{the quotient of a number}\ n\ \text{ and 3}\\\\...+5-\text{five more than}$

If you want a solution:

$\dfrac{n}{3}+5=2$          subtract 5 from both sides

$\dfrac{n}{3}+5-5=2-5$

$\dfrac{n}{3}=-3$            multiply both sides by 3

$3\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot\dfrac{n}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup}=(3)(-3)\\\\n=-9$
