The difference of 5 and 8 is
+8+-+5+
the quotient of 6 and a number is:
+6%2Fn+
and plus +7+ is:
+6%2Fn+%2B+7+
-------------------
+8+-+5+=+6%2Fn+%2B+7+
+3+=+6%2Fn+%2B+7+
+6%2Fn+=+-4+
+-4n+=+6+
+n+=+-3%2F2+
---------------
Get another opinion, too
I'm not sure if " the quotient of 6 and a number"
is +6%2Fn+ or +n%2F6+
