Answer 1

let n = a number

then,

(n / 3) - 5 = - 7

(n / 3) = - 2  (this can be the answer but if you want to continue then this will be your answer)

               

n = - 6

               

Answer 2

SOLUTION

GIVEN

Five less than the quotient of a number and 3 is - 7

EVALUATION

Let the required number = x

So by the given condition

$\displaystyle \sf{ \frac{x}{3} - 5 = - 7 }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies \frac{x}{3} =5 - 7 }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies \frac{x}{3} = - 2 }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies x = - 2 \times 3 }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies x = -6 }$

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the required number = - 6
