What is
five divided by the sum of a number and 3, minus the quotient of 3 and the difference of the number and 3 is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of the number squared and 9.

Replace "a number" and "the number" by x

five divided by the sum of x and 3, minus the quotient of 3 and the difference of x and 3 is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of x squared and 9.

five divided by the sum of x and 3, minus the quotient of 3 and the difference of x and 3 is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of x squared and 9.

Replace "the sum of x and 3" by "x+3"

five divided by x+3, minus the quotient of 3 and the difference of x and 3 is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of x squared and 9.

five divided by x+3, minus the quotient of 3 and the difference of x and 3 is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of x squared and 9.

Replace "the difference of x and 3" by "x-3":

five divided by x+3, minus the quotient of 3 and x-3 is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of x squared and 9.
five divided by x+3, minus the quotient of 3 and x-3 is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of x squared and 9.

Replace "five divided by x+3" by :

minus the quotient of 3 and x-3 is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of x squared and 9.
minus the quotient of 3 and x-3 is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of x squared and 9.

Replace "the quotient of 3 and x-3" by

minus is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of x squared and 9.
minus is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of x squared and 9.

Replace "x squared" by

minus is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of and 9.
minus is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of the difference of and 9.

Replace "the difference of and 9" by

minus is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of .
minus is equal to 6 times the reciprocal of .

Replace "the reciprocal of " by

minus is equal to 6 times .
minus is equal to 6 times .

Replace by

is equal to 6 times .
is equal to 6 times .

Replace "6 times by . is equal to . is equal to .
Replace "is equal to" by " = ":

Can you solve that? If not post again asking how. Answer = 15 Edwin
