8. Write the equation that represents the relationship "1 less than a number is 5”? 9. The quotient of n and 2 is 8. What is the value of n?

8. x-1=5

9. x/2=8

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the unknown number

less means subtract

quotient means divide

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
