The equation for the given statement is 7+x/5=-12.
The given statement is Seven plus the quotient of a number and 5 is -12.
We need to find the equation for the given statement.
What is an equation?
Equations are mathematical statements containing two algebraic expressions on both sides of an 'equal to (=)' sign. It shows the relationship of equality between the expression written on the left side with the expression written on the right side. In every equation in math, we have, L.H.S = R.H.S (left hand side = right hand side). Equations can be solved to find the value of an unknown variable representing an unknown quantity.
Let the unknown number be x.
Now, Seven plus the quotient of a number and 5 =7+x/5
Which is equal to -12. That is, 7+x/5=-12
⇒35+x=-60
⇒x=-95
Verification:
7+(-95)/5=-12
⇒7+(-19)=-12
Therefore, the equation for the given statement is 7+x/5=-12.
