Answer:
[tex]\frac{x}{8}+5[/tex]= 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
given:five more than The quotient of a number and eight is 42.
To find: Expression .
Solution: we have given that five more than The quotient of a number and eight is 42.
let the number x .
According to question
quotient of a number and eight = [tex]\frac{x}{8}[/tex]
five more than The quotient of a number and eight is 42 =[tex]\frac{x}{8}+5[/tex]= 42.
Therefore , [tex]\frac{x}{8}+5[/tex]= 42.
The quotients of numbers simply means the division of the said numbers.
The number is 296
Let the number be x.
The quotient of x and 8 means x divided by 8:
[tex]\frac{x}{8}[/tex]
5 more than this quotient is represented as:
[tex]5 + \frac{x}{8}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]5 + \frac{x}{8} = 42[/tex]
Subtract 5 from both sides
[tex]\frac{x}{8} = 42 -5[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{8} = 37[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 8
[tex]x = 37 \times 8[/tex]
[tex]x = 296[/tex]
Hence, the number is 296.
