Given that:
7 less than the quotient of a number X and twelve is five times the number
The quotient is the result after dividing one number by another.
Therefore,
7 less than the quotient of a number X and 12 =
[tex]\frac{X}{12}\text{ - 7}[/tex]Is five times the number:
[tex]\frac{X}{12}-7\text{ = 5X}[/tex]ANSWER:
[tex]\frac{X}{12}-7\text{ = 5X}[/tex]
