Question

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number. Which answer represents this situation??

a.)7−x12+5x

b.)x12−7=5x

c.)7−x12=5x

d.)x12−7+5x

Answer 1

the answer is B. x/12 - 7 = 5x

Good luck!

Answer 2

Option b is correct.

Explanation:

From the given condition : Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number.

Here, the number is x

The quotient of a number x and twelve is expressed as ,
`(x)/(12)`

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is expressed as,
`(x)/(12)-7`

Five times the number mean,
`5x`

Therefore, we have an equation in the form of x from the given condition as:

`(x)/(12)-7=5x` .
