Question

How do you write: The quotient of a number and -5 increased by one is at most 7?

Answer 1

`(x/-5)+1 <=7`

Explanation:

A quotient is the answer of a division.

Let `x` be the unknown number.
The quotient of `x` and `-5` is `(x/-5)`.
"Increased by one" means add `1`, so now we have `(x/-5)+1`.

This answer is "at most 7", in other words, less than or equal to 7.
