How do you solve twelve less than the quotient of a number and 7 is -2

Remark

One of the things you need to do is learn to read phrase by phrase.

What is the quotient of a number and 7? That meas you have a number, x, and it is divided by 7. What you do that the answer you get is the quotient.

x/7 is what you know so for. Now the first part says you take 12 away from that.

x/7 - 12 is what you have after doing that.

The result you get is - 2

x/7 - 12 = - 2 Add 12 to both sides

x/7 - 12 + 12 = - 2 + 12

x/7 = 10 Now multiply by 7

x = 10 *7

x = 70 <<< Answer the number is 70

54 km / hours

step-by-step explanation:

we need to convert seconds to hours

60 seconds = 1 minutes

60 minutes = 1hour

15 m         60 second   60 minutes

  * *         = 54000 meters/ hour

second     1 minute             1 hour

now we need to convert meters to km

1000 m = 1 km

54000 m       1 km

*   = 54 km / hours

hour               1000m
