Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
let's call the number x.
"five less than"
[expression] - 5
"the quotient of a number and 3"
x/3
x/3 - 5
"is -7"
x/3 - 5 = -7
add 5 to both sides of the equation
x/3 - 5 + 5 = -7 + 5
x/3 = -2
multiply both sides of the equation by 3
x/3 * 3 = -2 * 3
x = -6
Answer:
X = number,
so the expression becomes X/5 - 14
