Question 717802: A certain number, x, is doubled and then decreased by 11. The result is equal to the quotient of 5 more than the number and 3.
Can you pls help me write an equation to represent the above statement, no need to solve it
I'm getting:
2x - 11 = x over (5x + 3)
Thank you for taking the time to help me, i really appreciate it
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The left side is correct. On the right side you are correct that quotient will mean a fraction/division. But the numerator and denominator are not right. In the phrase "the quotient of 5 more than the number and 3" it is the "and" that separates the numerator from the denominator. So the numerator should be "5 more than the number" and the denominator should be "3". This makes the correct equation: (or )
