Studdy Solution
Assumptions1. The number we are looking for is represented by the variable n. The quotient of the number n and -5 isWe can represent the problem as an equation. The quotient of a number and -5 is can be written as$$\frac{n}{-5} =$$3To isolate n, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by -5.
$$n = \times -5$$4Calculate the value of n.
$$n = \times -5 = -10$$The number is -10.
