Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number. which answer represents this situation? x/12−7 5x 7−x/12=5x 7−x/12 5x x/12−7=5x

Quotient is basically the answer you get when you divide two numbers. For example, the quotient of 6 and 3 is 2 because when I divide 6 by 3, I get 2.

Quotient of a number x and 12 = 

7 less than quotient of a number x and 12 = 

5 times the number = 5*x = 5x

Hence, the equation is;













x =

= -1.423728813559322 ≈ 1.42

Hence, the answer is A.
