Question

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

Answer 1

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 ,  $\frac{x}{12}$

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

Five times the number mean, $5x$

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

$\frac{x}{12}-7=5x$ .

Answer 2

Answer:

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

Good luck!
