For each phrase below write an expression to represent the phrase.

Problem 2: The quotient of 71 and five less than a number
3: five less than the product of a number and six
​

Answer 1

problem 2:

`(71)/(x - 5)`

3:

`6x - 5`

Explanation:

problem 2:

five less than a number=x-5

quotient in the question means division

Therefore, the answer is 71÷x-5

problem 3:

product of a number and six= 6×x

=6x

Hence, five less than the product of a number and six = 6x-5
