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

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option b is correct.

Step-by-step 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 ,  [tex]\frac{x}{12}[/tex]

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is expressed as,  [tex]\frac{x}{12}-7[/tex]

Five times the number mean, [tex]5x[/tex]

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

[tex]\frac{x}{12}-7=5x[/tex] .







Answer:

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

Good luck!
