Answer:

X / 6 - 5 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

five less means -5 at the end.

quotient of a number and six means x/6 (divided by)

put them together, and you get,

x/6 - 5= 12
The quotient of a number and six is the same way of saying a number, let’s call it x, divided by 6.
5 less than means subtract 5

We get this equation: x/6 - 5 = 12

To solve this first add 5 to each side

x/6 = 17

Now to solve for x, multiply each side by 6

x = 102
