1. 5 less than one fourth of x is y.

Answer

y = (1/4)x - 5                 or     4y - x + 20 = 0

Explanation

To get the rule required, we interpret the sentence and write it in a mathematical form.

5 less than one fourth of x is y  

one fourth of x ⇒ (1/4)x

5 less than one fourth of x is y  ⇒  (1/4)x - 5 = y

y = (1/4)x - 5

4y = x - 20

4y - x + 20 = 0
