Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x, then quotient of number and 5 is [tex]\frac{x}{5}[/tex]

3 less than this quotient is 2, that is

[tex]\frac{x}{5}[/tex] - 3 = 2

Multiply through by 5 to clear the fraction

x - 15 = 10 ( add 15 to both sides )

x = 25

That is the number is 25

Answer:

The number is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

n/5 - 3 = 2

Add 3 to both sides

n/5 - 3 + 3 = 2 + 3

n/5 = 5

Multiply both sides by 5:

n = 25.
