I don't know what the quotient means. I am good at putting equations together but this problem is just confusing for me.

jennyyy666 · Answer

I put that for my answer and its saying it is wrong.

phi · Answer

Seven is at most x
means 7 is no more than x
or  7 is less than or equal to x 
or
$$ 7 \le x $$

in this case, x is the quotient of d and -5 i.e.  d/-5
(this can be confusing, and I would not say it like that)

anyway the answer is
$$ 7 \le \frac{d}{-5} $$

mathstudent55 · Answer

The quotient is the result of a division.
The quotient of 20 and 2 is the result of the division 20/2 which is 10.

In your case, the quotient of a number d and -5 is the result of the division of d by -5, which is

$\dfrac{d}{-5} $
