Which equation represents the following word problem “7 is 4 less than the quotient of a number n and 3”?

3n – 4 = 7

n over three - 4 = 7

n over three + 4 = 7

3n + 4 = 7

Answer 1

B

Answer 2

7=(n/3)-4 or in your case, B

I'll help anyway just in case I'm offline later :D

Basically you take it one step at a time. Start with 7 is. "is" is a universal term for equals. So we know the first part is 7=. Now we go to the next part which is "4 less" which translates to -4. Now we have 7=-4. Now the last part is the quotient of a number n and 3. Since quotient means division, we know we have to divide n by 3. Therefor, we are left with (n/3)-4=7. Hope this helped :D Good luck!
