Question

How do you write the phrase as an algebraic expression “ Five more than the quotient of z divided by 7 equals 12 “?

Answer 1

Hint: We can write the equation from the statement given in the question very easily, when the statement says 5 more than that means x + 5 similarly if it says 5 less than x we will write
x – 5 , if it says x divided by 5 we will write ${\displaystyle \frac{x}{5}}$ , if it says b more than a divide by c we will write $b+{\displaystyle \frac{a}{c}}$ .

Complete step by step answer:
The statement given in the question is “ Five more than the quotient of z divided by 7 equals 12 “
The statement says if we add 5 with quotient which we will get when we divide z divided by 7 , we will get 12
So if we add 5 to ${\displaystyle \frac{z}{12}}$ we get 12
So the value of $5+{\displaystyle \frac{z}{12}}$ is equal to 12
So we can write $5+{\displaystyle \frac{z}{12}}=12$.

Note:
When we write an equation into a statement, keep in mind that we should write according to the preference of arithmetic sign...divide, multiplication, addition, and subtraction are preference from left to right. If an equation goes like this $a+b\times c$ =5 then the statement
