Answer 1

Given that:

7 less than the quotient of a number X and twelve is five times the number

The quotient is the result after dividing one number by another.

Therefore,

7 less than the quotient of a number X and 12 =

`(X)/(12)\text{ - 7}`

Is five times the number:

`(X)/(12)-7\text{ = 5X}`

ANSWER:

`(X)/(12)-7\text{ = 5X}`
