Completing the question and solving the equation, it is found that the number is 20.
--------------------------------
- We don't know the value of the number, so we call it x.
- The quotient of a number and negative five is:
[tex]\frac{x}{-5} = -\frac{x}{5}[/tex]
- One less than the quotient is:
[tex]1 - (-\frac{x}{5}) = 1 + \frac{x}{5}[/tex]
--------------------------------
- Supposing this is equals to 5.
[tex]1 + \frac{x}{5} = 5[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{5} = 4[/tex]
[tex]x = 5 \times 4 = 20[/tex]
Thus, the number is 20.
