Answer:

x = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown (missing) number be x.

In Mathematics, quotient simply means division i.e to divide a number by another.

Thus, translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

[tex] \frac{x}{7} - 5 = 10 [/tex]

To find the value of x, we would simplify the algebraic expression.

[tex] \frac{x}{7} = 10 + 5 [/tex]

[tex] \frac{x}{7} = 15 [/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we have;

[tex] x = 15 * 7 [/tex]

x = 105
