11 subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 is - 13

n/5 - 11 = - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We must do the division first, before the subtraction:

"the quotient of a number and 5" is n/5."

"11 subtracted from this result" comes out to n/5 - 11 = - 13.

This is the answer. We were not asked to simplify it. But if we want to simplify it, we add 11 to both sides, obtaining n/5 - 2.
