Equations and inequalities

Question

Eight more than the quotient of a number and 5 is 6

Answer 1

eight more than the quotient of a number and 5 is 6

8 + n/5 = 6

n/5 =6-8=-2

n= 5(-2) = -10

the number is -10

"more than" suggests an inequality, but it's also used for "and" or "plus" as in addition

the "is" before 6 makes the expression into an equation, not an inequality.
