Five more than the quotient of a number and 4 is 7

Answer 1

You need to translate this into an equation

The quotient of as number and 4 can be expressed as n/4. We now add 5 which gives us

(n/4) + 5. We are told this equals 7 so our equation is (n/4) +5 =7 Now solve for n

subtract 5 from both sides gives us n/4 = 2. Multiply both sided by 4 so n=8
