Six less than the product of 8 and a number equals 5

Let's start with "the product of and a number". I will use to represent the number.

"Six less than"

"equals "

Now put it all together.

Now I will solve for . Add on both sides of the equation.

Now, divide both sides of the equation by .

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
