Question

Five more than the quotient of a number and 3 is 7

Answer 1

y/3 + 5 = 7

Explanation:

Five more would mean plus five, and in these types of equations you work almost backwards. So if you but +5 in your answer, you need to add the quotient, dividing(/) by 3, and the unknown number is y. so your finial equation would read, y divided by 3 plus 5 is equal to 7 (y/3 + 5 = 7) Hope this was helpful!
