You can put this solution on YOUR website! Less than means subtract but there's a special rule. If it says more than or less than, than the subtraction would go behind the mathematical sentence so lets just put it off to the side for now, -3
quotient means to divide and a number is mysterious cause we don't know what it is so we'll just use (x) we have, x/5
so lets put it together in order:
since -3 goes behind then:
Answer is :x/5-3
