Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:Explanation: A quotient is the answer of a division. Let x be the unknown number. The quotient of x and −5 is (x−5)

Answer 2

`(40)/(n)-13`

7

Explanation:

"The quotient of 40 and a number" means
`(40)/(n)`

"13 less than" means subtract 13

So the expression is:
`(40)/(n)-13`

When n = 2:

`\implies (40)/(2)-13=20-13=7`
