Question

Translate the sentence into an equation. Seven more than the quotient of a number and 6 is 5. Use the variable b for the unknown number.

Answer 1

`7+(b)/(6)=5`

Explanation:

Variable denotes a symbol which takes various numerical values and a constant takes a fixed numerical value

Let
`b` denotes the unknown number.

The quotient of a number and
`6` is equal to
`(b)/(6)`

Seven more than the quotient of a number and
`6` is equivalent to
`7+(b)/(6)`

As seven more than the quotient of a number and 6 is 5,

the equation becomes
`7+(b)/(6)=5`
