Question

Write an algebraic expression that represents the following statement: “7 less than the quotient of 5 and n" *

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\boxed{\bold{(5)/(n)-7}}}`

`\hrulefill`

We'll start with the expression for the quotient of
`5` and
`n`, which means we'll use division:

`(5)/(n)`

Now we find
`7` less than that, meaning we'll use subtraction:

`(5)/(n)\bold{-7}`
